Sunsets of Arizona

I remember when I was a little guy

Watching plane trails in the sky

Always wondering where they went

Catching rides could be heaven sent

Grabbed a greyhound and I headed west

One way ticket so I’d take the test

Wearing boots leaving Ohio

Gonna ride some bulls on the rodeo

I’ve seen the cities with their neon skies

I’ve heard the people always telling lies

Now I’ve told you that I’ve seen the rest

Let me tell you what I love the best

From Tuscon to Sedona

I love the sunsets of Arizona

I kissed a girl in Cheyenne

She was my nurse when I broke my hand

Headed south down to Mesquite

Riding bulls there can’t be beat

Did real good there made some money

Guess I’ll find me another honey

Had enough now I’m Vegas bound

After that it’ll be Tinsel Town

I’ve seen the cities with their neon skies

I’ve heard the people always telling lies

Now I’ve told you that I’ve seen the rest

Let me tell you what I love the best

From Tuscon to Sedona

I love the sunsets of Arizona

Tinsel Town has a Row-day-o

Sure ain’t nothing like Idaho

They ride the bulls up in Bakersfield

All the people there get the thrill

I hugged a clown in Sparks-Reno

He saved my life in the rodeo

Heading south cause I need a rest

To a place that I love the best

I’ve seen the cities with their neon skies

I’ve heard the people always telling lies

Now I’ve told you that I’ve seen the rest

Let me tell you what I love the best

From Tuscon to Sedona

I love the sunsets of Arizona

From Tucson to Sedona

I love the sunsets of Arizona
