Almost Heaven, Arizona!

Almost heaven, Arizona
Grand Canyon, Colorado River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Desert roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
Arizona, canyon momma
Take me home, desert roads

All my memories, gather round her
Trekking lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of tequila, teardrop in my eye

Desert roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
Arizona, canyon momma
Take me home, desert roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin hours she calls to me
NPR reminds me of my home far a-way
And drivin down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Desert roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
Arizona, canyon momma
Take me home, desert roads
