Chris Stapleton - Arkansas

[Mr. Merk]

So.....has anyone seen his 911?

Took a Nine Eleven 'bout a hundred and seven down a back road
Where the white river runs and the southern sun makes the kudzu grow
And what I found in the Ozark mountains I ain't ever seen
It sure does feel like you're sittin' on top of the world to me
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Well, we burned through the one light towns like a scalded dog
When we lit out of Fayetteville, they were callin' the hogs
We made a pit stop in Little Rock for some barbecue
And when we hit West Memphis there were blue lights in our rear view
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas

“It wasn’t that long ago that I had a birthday, and I happen to like fast cars,” he said. “So my wife bought me a fast car, but the fast car was in Oklahoma City, so me and JT back there on the bass got dropped off in Oklahoma City and we drove like a bat out of hell through the Ozark Mountains all the way to Nashville, Tennessee, and that’s what this song is all about.”

After picking up the new car, apparently a Porsche 911 if the lyrics are accurate, Stapleton blazed in through the backroads of the state at “about a hundred and seven” miles per hour on his way back to Nashville.

Is this the "Tennessee Whiskey" guy singing? Not a huge country fan, but that song is pretty darn good. THis song is OK too.

[Zeke]

That'll wake you up.

Never heard that song and not usually a country fan but I like it.

Within a month or two of getting the Cayman we took a road trip to Arkansas. Some of the best driving roads around.

Had no idea, but have been listening to his music since he was on AI. She loves the sing song shows.

Not a bad song. There are some incredible roads in the Ozarks, it’s one of my favorite places on Earth.

Chris has that one in a million voice. I would wager even country haters would sit back and be amazed.

Starting Over is a great song too.
