Story behind the song
The idea for this song came to me while playing guitar one day. I wrote down the lyrics. I first created a demo using my own playing and voice. The version which you hear now is a professional demo I allowed Dave Smith to make for me.

"Sweet Arkansas Night"
Written by Charles J. Moix
1st verse There's a bullfrog croaking on a pond, and a nightbird is singing along.
chorus Gonna hold my baby tight, on this sweet Arkansas night.
2nd verse There's a full moon lighting up the night, and the stars are all shining bright.
chorus Gonna hold my baby tight, on this sweet Arkansas night.
3rd verse And I reach over and hold her hand, and I know that I'm the luckiest man.
chorus Gonna hold my baby tight, on this sweet Arkansas night.
bridge And there's no place I'd rather be, than here with my lady, she is my greatest treasure, and I will love her forever.
final chorus Gonna hold my baby tight, on this sweet Arkansas night,
gonna hold my baby tight, on this sweet Arkansas Night,
on this sweet Arkansas night,
my sweet Arkansas night,
my sweet Arkansas night.
