Looks like I may have to register for Wikipedia in order to fix this one. The posted lyrics are to "Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)" by Wayland Holyfield, one of the two "state songs" as designated in 1987; but the title (and Arkansas article) show it as "Arkansas" by Eva Ware Barnett, the "state song" before 1987 but now the "state anthem". This article on the Holyfield song needs to be moved to "Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)" (previously set up as a protolink without the parentheses in the Holyfield article) and replaced with an article on the Barnett song, and the links in the main Arkansas article conformed to it.

I ended up registering for Wikipedia over this dispute all right, but it took some time; my first article was on "Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)", written to go along with my rewrites on the other Arkansas state songs. --RBBrittain 23:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
