lyrics

ARIZONA

I threw two copper pennies
down in the canyon on a midnight wish

Well I hope it comes true so I threw in two
Well I hope it comes soon
And why not double my chances?

For all I’ve been dreaming of
And all I’ve been thinking up

Well I hope Arizona you follow thru

And I say Arizona
Where are you now, where are you now?

For 18 long years been making a list
Answers to questions and confessions I always had to guess

Never had a chance to meet for a long embrace
Not even a photograph to look upon your face

And I say Arizona
Where are you now, where are you now?

I don’t know where to look up or down
Maybe you’re an apparition and you’ve always been around

I have so many things I’ve been meaning to say
So come on Arizona won’t you meet me half way

And I say Arizona

Where are you now, where are you now?

Cause I always wondered

Were the thick clouds and the thunder
Your way of striking a chord with me

And I say Arizona where are you now?

When Arizona calls with her sweet sweet voice

Sounds like my sisters of course and I’m feeling rest assured
And I say Momma do I have your eyes?
Are they royal blue?

Momma do I have your smile? Is it crooked too?
