"I'll always love you." That's a quote-
Correct me if I'm wrong-
But you said that last spring in my car
When that one song came on.
But this long distance romance gets harder
To live with each day.
I've tried to believe you but the truth
Always gets in the way

Chorus:
I drive every weekend
To see you in Springfield, Missouri
If Sam Walton's willing
And the Arkansas River don't rise.
I'll drive every weekend
To see you in Springfield, Missouri
And if we don't make it
It won't be 'cause I didn't drive.

There's a little white chicken
Smashed to hell on this road to Missouri.
That truck hit him almost
As hard as your cheating hit me.
And the cow-scum that floats
On the stock ponds just this side of Cassville
Stinks like the devil,
And that's you, and I've got to be free.

Chorus
