He promised her a new and better life Out in Arizona Underneath the blue never-ending sky Swore that he was gonna get things in order He'd send for her When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind
There is no Arizona No painted desert No Sedona If there was A grand canyon She could fill it up with the lies he's told her But they don't exist Those dreams he sold her She'll wake up and find There is no Arizona
She got a postcard with no return address Post marked Tombstone It said I dont know where I'm goin next But when I do I'll let ya know May, June, July She wonders why she's still waitin She'll keep waiting cause
There is no Arizona No painted desert No Sedona If there was A grand canyon She could fill it up with the lies he's told her But they don't exist Those dreams he sold her She'll wake up and find There is no Arizona
Each day the sun sets into the west Her heart sinks lower in her chest And friends keep askin when she's goin Finally she tells them, don't you know
There is no Arizona No painted desert No Sedona If there was A grand canyon She could fill it up with the lies he's told her But they don't exist Those dreams he sold her She'll wake up and find There is no Arizona
He promised her a new and better life Out in Arizona
