Lyrics: Nick Branch/John Maher
Music: Nick Branch/John Maher
Deep in the heart of the desert
Bout fifteen thirty nine
Coronado stole land from natives
In search of a silver mine
Thinkin’ they’d stay forever
Long after fortune was found
Four hundred years now the only way back
Like a gopher through a hole in the ground
Arizona makes me wonder
Should I stay or should I go
Lightning comes before thunder
Striking Scottsdale, would she know
Would she know
Wyatt Earp died in Tombstone
Or so the story is told
Water passes through like a stranger
Anything can be sold
Spanish came long ago my friend
Cowboys the next to arrive
Chinese railroad men and retirees
Seems nothing here can survive
Arizona makes me wonder
Should I stay or should I go
Lightning comes before the thunder
Striking Scottsdale, would she know
Arizona makes me wonder
Should I stay or should I go
Lightning comes before the thunder
Striking Scottsdale, would she know
It was so
