“Back to Arkansas”
1980s Neo-Traditional Country Ballad • Sung by Country Cate
Back to Arkansas is a high-energy, 80s-style country-rock anthem driven by electric guitar riffs, big choruses, and heart. With a sound that blends retro country charm and classic rock edge, it’s the kind of song you’d blast with the windows down on your way home. Inspired by the spirit of artists like Barbara Mandrell and Linda Ronstadt—but with a punchier, modern twist—this track is a love letter to small towns, winding roads, and the roots that never let go. 🎶 If you’ve ever missed home, this one’s for you. Lyrics: Got red clay dust on my boots again Winding down roads back to old friends Through whispering pines and Delta skies It's like these hills know the reasons why Mama's porch in Fayetteville That screen door swings, and it always will Buffalo River sings behind the barn Every trail leads straight to my heart Take me back to Arkansas Ozark stars and river songs Where my soul feels free to roam Arkansas, I'm comin' home First kiss out near Petit Jean Names carved deep in that oak tree Little Rock dreams drew me away But Hot Springs nights begged me to stay Take me back to Arkansas Ozark stars and river songs Where my soul feels free to roam Arkansas, I'm comin' home Some chase lights, some run far My heart's tied to Arkansas Take me back to Arkansas Sunday grace, grandpa's watch Peace beneath those southern skies Arkansas, you'll always be mine Lyrics written by Josh Durey.
