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 lie's 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 waitin', she'll keep waitin' 'cause

There is no Arizona

No Painted Desert, no Sedona

If there was a Grand Canyon

She could fill it up with the lie's 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 lie's 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
