Lisa Gatewood: Lyrics

Arizona

(Lisa Gatewood)
There’s a glare from the street light
in her wild wild wild wild gaze
And there’s a madness running through her tonight
running hot and hard through her veins
Their words are on her heels
everywhere she goes
It’s no use running from
what everybody knows

They call her Arizona
for the way that she made love
hot but dry as a desert
hot but far as the sun
and she’ll rage down any mountain
or any canyon you can find
they call her Arizona
they call her all the time

She’s tied again to her kitchen chair
recalling all the reasons why she is there
Bound by beauty, bound by blood
bound by the lie mistook for love

They call her Arizona
for the way that she made love
hot but dry as a desert
hot but far as the sun
and she’ll rage down any mountain
or any canyon you can find
Girls like her and I
Always have something to hide...

And she’ll drive all night
just to feel alright
no matter where she lands
she falls into suspicious hands

They call her Arizona
for the way that she made love
hot but dry as a desert
hot but far as the sun
and she’ll rage down any mountain
or any canyon you can find
they call her Arizona
they call her all the time
