About Arkansas State Which Arkansas city do you belong to?
Arkansas is a state which is located in the South of the United States of America. The name of the state is an Algonquin name and is the name of the Quapaw Indians. Arkansas is bordered by 6 states, the eastern border being defined mainly by the Mississippi River. The diverse geography of the state range from the eastern lowlands running beside the Mississippi River to the mountainous regions of the Ouachita Mountains and the Ozarks. The capital of the state, which is the city with the highest population, is Little Rock, which is located near the center of the state. A number of multinational companies have their headquarters in this state, which include Wal-Mart, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt. Due to the presence of such companies, the economy of Arkansas has seen a rise ever since the 1970s. Tourism is also a big part of the economy, which has resulted in the nickname of the state being officially given as 'The Natural State'.

Arkansas State Song
Oh, Arkansas

by Terry Rose and Gary Klaff

It's the spirit of the mountains and the spirit of the Delta, It's the spirit of the Capitol dome. It's the spirit of the river and the spirit of the lakes, It's the spirit that's in each and every home. It's the spirit of the people and the spirit of the land, It's the spirit of tomorrow and today.

Chorus Oh Arkansas, oh Arkansas, Arkansas U.S.A. It's the spirit of friendship, it's the spirit of hope. It's the Razorbacks every game they play. Oh Arkansas, oh Arkansas, Arkansas U.S.A.

It's the spirit of the forest, it's the spirit of the eagle. It's the spirit of the country that we love. It's the spirit of pride that we all feel deep inside, It's the spirit that shines from above. It's the spirit of our fathers, it's the spirit of our kids, It's the spirit of the music that we play.

Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas U.S.A. Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas U.S.A. Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas, Oh Arkansas U.S.A.


Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)

Written and composed by Wayland Holyfield

October morning in the Ozark Mountains, Hills ablazing like that sun in the sky. I fell in love there and the fire's still burning A flame that will never die.

Chorus Oh, I may wander, but when I do I will never be far from you. You're in my blood and I know you'll always be. Arkansas, you run deep in me.

Moonlight dancing on a delta levee, To a band of frogs and whippoorwill I lost my heart there one July evening And it's still there, I can tell.

Repeat Chorus

Magnolia blooming, Mama smiling, Mallards sailing on a December wind. God bless the memories I keep recalling Like an old familiar friend.

Repeat Chorus

And there's a river rambling through the fields and valleys, Smooth and steady as she makes her way south, A lot like the people whose name she carries. She goes strong and she goes proud.

Repeat Chorus
