Goodbye Arizona

Saguaros in the sunset wave a sad goodbye,
as I ride out of Arizona.
The sun burnished desert, sandy and dry
seems to be calling me back,
but my heart belongs elsewhere and so do I.
Goodbye Arizona goodbye.

Goodbye to you from your once loyal daughter,
I'm leaving your memory behind.
I search for a land with tall pines and water...
you know why I can't stay.
You know I've sought something so long and so far.
You can't offer what I search for.

Dust devils and tumbleweeds dance in the wind,
do they feel as dizzy as I?
My tarry with you has now come to an end.
I wonder if you'll even miss me?

Coyote's cry echoes in my heart my friend.
I am mourning our parting.
I see the saguaros wave as I ride
away from Arizona,

I feel like I'm bleeding somewhere inside
I want so much to stay,
but I've life to discover and dreams to find
so goodbye Arizona, goodbye.
