I hear Little Rock calling homesick tears a falling
I've been away from Little Rock way too long
I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line
I hear Little Rock calling me back home
I remember on that day they said son don't go away
Now I wish I would've listened to their call
I miss my mom and I miss my dad and the good friends that I had
But I miss my hometown sweetheart most of all
I hear Little Rock calling...
I've been through a thousand towns mostly sleeping on the ground
And the thrill of traveling this old world is gone
I've been hungry and I've cold I've been troubled in my soul
I'm a gonna climb the border next train home
I hear Little Rock calling...
I hear Little Rock calling...
I hear Little Rock calling me back home
