about

Years ago I went to the Ozarks for a trip down Buffalo River with some friends. We passed through Flippin, Arkansas. The name of this town really stood out and the jokes never grew old.

"Are there any decent Flippin restaurants around here?" "Where's the Flippin gas station?" Man I've got a Flippin headache." It went on and on...

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I thought about the old folk song "Arkansas Traveler" and then about that trip again, and then this Flippin song came along.

lyrics

Darling your the reason I’m finally hanging on
I haven’t been so crazy since you came along
I even got me a shave and a new Sunday suit
And it’s all because of you

If I had a dollar, if I had a day
All my time and money would surely come your way
We could drive past Flippin all the way to Mountain Home
And watch the sun til it disappears

Darling your the reason I’m finally standing straight
I say please sir, and thank you, now I appreciate
All the little things and the things I never knew
Now you’re always, always on my mind

I’d love to see the world or at least all of Arkansas
But if you’re weren’t there and even if I saw it all
It wouldn’t be as easy and wouldn’t be as sweet
All my somethings would be nothing without you
