Arkansas

I won’t return your phone calls
Cause I don’t wanna make amends
I don’t value your company
Don’t wanna be part of your circle of friends

But I don’t really feel excluded
Cause I know that I am included
On the list of people who aren’t in your life
Cause you scared them away
Cause you don’t know how to be nice

And I don’t know why you came here from Arkansas
But I’m happy that you will be leaving in the fall
And it’s not your final fate but it’s your fatal flaw
And though you were on your way
I have so much I should say

You always seemed so suspect
And I always seemed so suspicious
A tasty one for your sharp tongue
And I’ll bet that she’s delicious

And I never explain my content
But I don’t think that I’ll have to augment
This single word I will supply
Please don’t respond because it’s goodbye

And I don’t know why you came here from Arkansas
But I’m happy that you will be leaving in the fall
And it’s not your final fate but it’s your fatal flaw
And though you were on your way
I have so much I should say

I often dream about the summer before you arrived
With a scent on the breeze and men on birds in the sky
And I seem to recall as the moment is seized
A feeling of comfort a feeling of ease

And I don’t know why you came here from Arkansas
But I’m happy that you will be leaving in the fall
And it’s not your final fate but it’s your fatal flaw
And though you were on your way
I have so much I should say
