Sweetheart From Arkansas

[Verse 1]
I was a young boy searching for something greater
Now I'm an old man searching for something less
How hard is it for me to accept this elevator
From which I descend, lower and lower, I struggle to address

[Chorus]
My issues are hidden in silence, raindrops that never do fall
Somewhere in the middle of America, there’s a sweetheart from Arkansas
Who's happy to just be alive today, and thankful for the moments she has
Well, being a sweetheart from Arkansas is the bеst thing that she's ever had

[Verse 2]
I was a young boy, I needеd someone to turn to
Now I’m an old man, and I ain't got much advice
Don't ever think that life's been given, boy, I swear that it'll burn you
And make you regret every ounce you shoved right down the pipe

[Chorus]
My issues are hidden in silence, raindrops that never do fall
Somewhere in the middle of America, there's a sweetheart from Arkansas
Who's happy to just be alive today, and thankful for the moments she has
Well, being a sweetheart from Arkansas is the best thing that she's ever had
