He promised her a new and better life out in Arizona
undrer the blue never ending sky swore that he was
going to get things in order then he'd send for her
but it never crossed her mind...

(Chorus)
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 tooled her but they don't insist
those dreams he sold her she'll wake up and find
there is no Arizona

She got a postcard with no return address postmark
a tombstone it said I don't no where I'm going next but
when I do I'll let you know May June July she wonders why
shes still waiting she'll keep waiting...

(Chorus)

Each day the sun sets in to the West her heart sinks lower
in her chest and friends keep asking when shes going
finally she tells them don't you know.....that

(chorus 2x)

He promised her a new and better life out in Arizona
