lyrics

It’s hot in Texarkana as I zip up her tight black dress

She shoves lipstick in her purse & shuts the snap

The woman of my dreams a dolled up nightmare

Since I found out where she goes behind my back



I got a call from a good friend out there in El Dorado

Said she’s wrecking homes down Highway 82

Looking in the mirror she mouths the words ‘I love you’

Like a washed up Sherlock Holmes I had no clue



She’s an Arkansas traveler stepping out in Little Rock

Painting the town red like she’ll never get caught

She’s a two timin diamond right under my nose

She’s an Arkansas traveler wherever she goes



Reaching for her bottle of Chanel #5 she says

'Don’t wait up I’m staying at Cindy’s place tonight'

She dabs some perfume behind ears & on wrists

But it won’t cover up the stench of her lies



She’s an Arkansas traveller stepping out in Little Rock

Painting the town red like she’ll never get caught

She’s a two timin diamond right under my nose

She’s an Arkansas traveler wherever she goes



I can see her laughing at some handsome strangers jokes

Can see his hand moving softly up her thigh

Unlocking the door of some seedy motel

She hangs up the do not disturb sign



My head is hot & full of rage I want to yell & scream

Tell her that I hope she rots in hell

But I sit here quietly biting on my tongue

Because the highway knows that I’m a traveler as well



We are Arkansas travelers stepping out in Little Rock

Painting the town red like we’ll never get caught

We are two timin diamonds right under your nose

We are Arkansas travelers wherever we go

Wherever we go
