Lyrics
Verse 1
You left your hat on my chairLike you knew I'd keep it thereHot dust in your boots at dawnThen you were gone, gone, goneSheriff dogs on the windYour name scratched thinIn the back of my mouthAnd the desert went south
Pre‑Chorus
mRun, run, darlin'Keep that engine lowYou always had troubleWith a place called home
Chorus
Arizona getawayYou took the long wayMm, Arizona getawaymBad luck prayin'Fast horse savin'I still laughAt the mess you madeArizona getawayArizona getaway
Verse 2
mYou said, "Baby, don't waitI got blood on the plate"And you kissed my chin cleanLike a ghost in a dreamNow I hear your old truckOn the edge of the duskPast the dry river bendWhere the whole thing began
Pre‑Chorus
mRun, run, darlin'Let the badge chase dustYou always were troubleBut you knew how to love
Chorus
Arizona getawayYou took the long wayMm, Arizona getawaymBad luck prayin'Fast horse savin'I still laughAt the mess you madeArizona getawayArizona getaway
Bridge
mIf they catch me firstTell 'em I was yoursI willAnd I'll smile at the doorLet 'em read your sinsLet 'em count your scarsYou were never mineYou were all broken stars
Final Chorus
Arizona getawayYou took the long wayArizona getawaymBad luck prayin'Fast horse savin'I still laughAt the mess you madeArizona getawayArizona getawaymRun, run, darlin'I know your namebothArizona getawayArizona getaway
