i
went to arkansas to find me some kin
they say my daddy's getting out of the pen
and my momma told me i'm like him
a temper like a fire, a frame just like a wire
but if this was real
if this was what i need
if this was home
if this was everything, you'd run away
you wouldn't stay
if this was real
so don't be true
you'll be my alibi and i'll be your pearl
your appaloosa has grown up from a girl
you'll look at me like families do
and i'll look back at you, and fit you like a shoe
but if this was real
if this was what i need
if this was home
if this was everything, you'd run away
you wouldn't stay
if this was real
so don't be true
i went to arkansas to find me some kin
i've been a rain dog as long as i've been
save for this ring of glass and tin
the skin around my bones is all that i call home
