A song about the beautiful Arizona landscape, as I recall it from the days of my youth (1981), when I hitch-hiked across these United States. Arizona left so grand an impression on me, I had to memorialize it with a song. This is that song!
lyrics
Got a lot of red rock
In Arizona
Got a lot of red rock
In Arizona
Got a lot of sand devils
In Arizona
Got a lot of sand devils
In Arizona
Got a little river
Name of Colorado
Looks like an emerald
Snaking its way
Through the canyon
Little green snake
Called the Colorado
Winding its way
Through the canyon
Got a meteor crater
In Arizona
Got a meteor crater
In Arizona
Got some scorpions
And gila monsters too
Got some prong-horned antelope
A bobcat and a cougar or two
Got some cactus
In Arizona
Got some cactus
And some sage brush too
Got some Hopi
In Arizona
Hopi Indians
Native Americans
In Arizona
Hopi Native Americans
In Arizona
Got some red rocks
In Arizona
In Arizona
In Arizona
In Arizona
In Arizona
Got some red rocks
In Arizona
Got some yellow rocks
In Arizona
In Arizona!
