  4. State song Arkansas(You Run Deep in Me)Written by Wayland Holyfield October morning in the Ozark Mountains,Hills ablating like that sun in the sky.I fell in love there and the fire's still burningA flame that never will die. Chorus Oh, I may wander, but when I doI will never be far from you.You're in my blood and I know you'll always be.Arkansas, you run deep in me. Moonlight dancing on a delta levee,To a band of frogs and whippoorwillI lost my heart there one July eveningAnd it's still there, I can tell. Repeat Chorus Magnolia blooming, Mama smiling,Mallards sailing on a December wind.God bless the memories I keep recallingLike an old familiar friend. Repeat Chorus And there's a river rambling through the fields and valleys,Smooth and steady as she makes her way south,A lot like the people whose name she carries.She goes strong and she goes proud. Repeat Chorus
