I went to Arkansas to find me some kin They say my daddy's getting out of the pin My mama told me I'm like him, a temper like a fire A frame just like a wire And if this was real, if this was what I need If this was home, if this was everything You'd run away, you wouldn't stay If this was real So don't be true, now don't be true You'll be my apple pie and I'll be your pearl Your appaloosa has grown up from a girl You'll look at me like families do And I'll look back at you, fit you like a shoe And if this was real, if this was what I need If this was home, if this was everything You'd run away, you wouldn't stay If this was real So don't be true, now don't be true I went to Arkansas to find me some kin I've be a rain dog as long as I've been Save for this ring of glass and tin The skin around my bones is all that I call home
