From the recording State by State "Tribute 1"
Lyrics
Sun-bleached highways stretch for miles
Through painted deserts and canyon smiles
Saguaros standing tall and proud
Where the coyotes sing out loud
Red rocks rising from the sand
Ancient stories in this land
Where the summer heat runs wild and free
And the horizon's all you see
Arizona, where the sky meets the ground
In shades of copper, gold, and brown
Where the stars at night shine crystal clear
And the mountains whisper what you need to hear
Arizona, land of endless light
You're burning beautiful and bright
Phoenix rising from the heat
Tucson's got that desert beat
Sunset painting purple trails
Through the Superstition tales
Monsoon thunder rolls on through
Lightning dancing, born anew
And when the rain finally comes to stay
The whole desert blooms in disarray
Arizona, where the sky meets the ground
In shades of copper, gold, and brown
Where the stars at night shine crystal clear
And the mountains whisper what you need to hear
Arizona, land of endless light
You're burning beautiful and bright
From the Grand Canyon's ancient walls
To the desert where the roadrunner calls
There's magic in your dusty air
Arizona, nothing else compares
Arizona, where the sky meets the ground
In shades of copper, gold, and brown
Where the stars at night shine crystal clear
And the mountains whisper what you need to hear
Arizona, land of endless light
Forever burning bright.
