There Is No Arizona

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, postmarked tombstone

It 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, 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 asking when she's going

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
