Rock Me Back To Little Rock

I was young when I left you and daddy there was a world outside I had to see
Mama I've sure been a lot of places but Little Rock still looks the best to me
Oh rock me back to Little Rock mama rock me let me be there in my dreams awhile
Where the men don't try to take advantage of every woman who smiles
Sing me a little rock-a-bye-baby just the way you used to do
Mama this old world ouside does hurt me so rock me back to Little Rock with you
[ guitar ]
I couldn't wait to get away from Little Rock
For I thought Little Rock was a little square
But if I ever save enough money I'll swing it right on back and settle there
Oh rock me back to Little Rock...
