I am from there as well moved away in 2007 i go back every year to see y friends and family my mom grew up in those ozark mountains. Im a rebel till the day i die! I was from powhant its about ten away from black rock. then 30mins away from jonesbro.
Oh my goodness..this song makes me miss home so much more than I already do! Arkansas is the greatest state in the country..and I've lived in a lot of different states but my home state is by far my favorite
My baby (now 36); his baby (7); and Papa were all born here in this beautiful state. Transplant a cajun here, and she'll thrive. Graduated twice from U of A - Fayetteville, and will probably be buried here. Love this state!!!
Come on state symbols: Mockingbird Diana Fritillary Apple Blossom European Honey Bee White-tailed Deer Loblolly Pine Milk Square Dance South Arkansas Vine Ripe Pink Tomato Diamond Fiddle Quartz Bauxite Stuttgart AND THE STATE TARTAN! And the world's biggest patriot, my uncle Nick, who's Scottish, doesn't have a citizenship or a passport or a legal marriage, but is the biggest patriot America's ever known.
arkansas is the most stable state to go on off its own from the u.s if it wanted to because we have everything, naturual gas, crops, all we need it running water...
Wal-Mart base is here
and (i think) JCPenny was created here too /: not sure but thats what i heard
Thank u Wayland Holyfield 4 this & many Great other songs that u have produced... God Bless my state & the Great people that live here with me...GO HOGS!!!
Great song. Others say we are just a bunch of rednecks but there is a lot more to Arkansas than meets the eye. Truely the Natural State and a wonderful place to live.
If you have ever been to Suadi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait or any middleeast place you appreciate what an incredible beautiful place is Arkansas! Antarctica is beautiful too but not like the green mountains & valleys we have here. A LOT of other states have the greenery and even mountains but they just don't look as beautiful as Arkansas.
I sang this song so much when I was little, my younger brother was singing it in his sleep. lol This Is One Of The Greatest songs ever and it makes me forget sumtimes why Im moving away.
I do love this song and I love Arkansas. I was born in West Virginia and love it there too. I'm happy to have two great songs for the two states that are dear to me. It would be wonderful to have a slide show of pictures of Arkansas to go with the song. I don't know how to do it , but I have a lot of pictures from camping at Arkansas State Parks.
The Mountians of Northwest Arkansas are my home. They always have been and they always will be. Wayland Hollyfield's wonderful song touches the heart and soul of every true Arkie. What a genuinely wonderful place to live a life. I do swear, I tear up every time I hear this song...every time...We Arkies are so Blessed...American by birth, Arkie by the Grace of God...
What a song. I can remember me and my big brother staying up late at night to listen to this song on AETN channel 2 in central Arkansas. What makes this song so special to me is that is mainly only known by Arkansans, and not by the mainstream media. GOD bless Wayland Holyfield for recording it.
Presently, my family and I live on the beautiful island of Tinian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Not much like Arkansas. Wonderful, but not Arkansas. When I listen to this touching song, my soul cries a little. It's still home.
Living up here in New York, I sure miss Arkansas sometimes....I feel so disconnected from where I grew up. I'm so glad somebody has put this wonderful song up on YouTube...it's always been one of my favorites, and few things evoke memories of Arkansas for me like this song. I remember so many nights I'd stay awake until our AETN station went off the air late at night just so I could hear this. It makes my heart smile every time.
Like so many people, I've looked for years "and" years for this beautiful song. It does warm the heart, and gives me goose bumps!! Many thanks!! Southerner by birth, Arkansan by the grace of God!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ARKANSAS!!
Every time i hear this, i think of my home in Arkasnas. Like the others, I have went away and it brings a tear to my eyes when I hear this song. Arkansas is a great state with great people. God Bless Arkansas!
OMG yeah I've been looking for a while too and found it on myspace a while back. I remember this song used to play on a local LR news station EVERY NIGHT as they were signing off. SO cool!
i'm doing a presentation of arkansas in school i'm gonna play this to my class :)
