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 lies 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 waiting, she'll keep waiting 'cause


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 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 asking when she's going

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 lies 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
