Lyrics

Once I lived in Hollywood
Near Hollywood and Vine
Rubbed shoulders with a star or two
Watched them as they'd shine
But all the tinsel glory
That sparkled ‘fore my eyes
Never once took the place
Of those ARIZONA SKIES

CHORUS:
And I can’t help but remember
The skies in Arizona
On those warm, peaceful
Arid summer nights
I wander through this life
And I marvel at the sights
But I never seem to find
ARIZONA SKIES

I’ve also been to Ireland
That jewel cast in the sea
Coal black eyes and lullabies
And heather on the lea
But all the verdant beauty
That softly hypnotized
Never dimmed the memory
Of those ARIZONA SKIES

CHORUS

I’ve even lived in Tokyo
In a house down by the bay
If things had worked out differently
I might still be there today
But all the viral energy
That use to tantalize
Never touched me deep inside
Like those ARIZONA SKIES

CHORUS (solo)

BRIDGE:
Dusty roads & pavement black
Leading on, never turning back
Chasing my illusive destiny
London, Paris, Amsterdam
Moscow, Prague, who gives a damn
I've been everywhere
but where I long to be

Made my way back homeward
Not so long ago
Your mother said you had wed
I said I hadn't known
So, I drove up to the foothills
To our secret paradise
And I thought about the two of us
‘neath those ARIZONA SKIES

CHORUS
