I hear Little Rock calling
Homesick tears are 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
Homesick tears are 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'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 aboard the next train home

I hear Little Rock calling
Homesick tears are 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 hear Little Rock calling
Homesick tears are 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 hear Little Rock calling me back home
