I love you, Arizona; Your mountains, deserts and streams;
The rise of Dos Cabezas* And the outlaws I see in my dreams;
I love you Arizona, Superstitions and all
The warmth you give at sunrise;
Your sunsets put music in us all.
Oo, Arizona; You're the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona, You're the life-blood of me;
I love you Arizona; Desert dust on the wind;
The sage and cactus are blooming, And the smell of the rain on your skin.
Oo, Arizona; You're the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona, You're the life-blood of me.
*Dos Cabezas (Two Heads) - mountain peaks in Cochise County, Arizona
