+++VERSE 1+++
He promised her a new and better life out in Arizona.
Underneath the blue, never-ending sky, he swore that he was gonna
Get things in order. He'd send for her.
When he left her behind it never crossed her mind...
+++CHORUS+++
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona.
If there was a Grand Canyon she could fill it up with the lies he told her.
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her.
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.
+++VERSE 2+++
She got a postcard with no return address; postmarked Tombstone.
That said, "I don't know where I'm goin' next, but when I do I'll let you
know."
May, June, July, she wonders why
She's still waiting, and she'll keep waiting, 'cause...
+++REPEAT CHORUS (Follows)+++
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona.
If there was a Grand Canyon she could fill it up with the lies he told her.
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her.
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.
+++BRIDGE+++
Each day the sun sets into the west
Her heart sinks lower in her chest, and
Friends keep asking
When she's going
Finally she tells them,
"Don't you know?..."
+++REPEAT CHORUS (Follows)+++
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona.
If there was a Grand Canyon she could fill it up with the lies he told her.
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her.
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona.
+++OUTRO+++
He promised her a new and better life out in Arizona.
