Back Missouri Way

Oh I need to get back
Oh I need to get back
Oh I need to get back
Back Missouri Way

Well there's a little girl there
And she used to care
Oh I need to get back
Back Missouri Way

Oh why did I stray
All the way
down to Arkansas?

Oh I long for the day
When I sway
In my baby's arms!

Wanna hop a N. bound train
Burn down that old flood plain
Until I'm back
Back in my baby's arms

Oh I need to get back

Oh I need to get back
Oh I need to get back
Back Missouri Way

Well there's a little girl there
And she used to care
Oh I need to get back
Back Missouri Way
