[INTRO — 2 BARS | dirty blues guitar riff, thick bass, punchy snare] [VERSE 1 — low, gritty female vocal | lazy Southern swagger] He called me from a payphone, Somewhere out in Winslow, Said the Arizona sunshine Was something I should see. I said, "Well, ain't that something, Must be nice out there." While I'm sitting here in Tennessee With his shirt and an empty chair. [PRE-CHORUS — drums tighten, guitar bends] I told him I was doing fine, Lord, I can tell a pretty lie. [CHORUS — BIG GUITAR GROOVE | punchy bass, raw country attitude] My Tennessee man in an Arizona town, Got his boots on the pavement, While my heart's breaking down. He's got that desert sunshine, I've got this Tennessee rain. He's out there chasing sunsets, I'm in here going insane. Ain't it funny how a woman Can be strong till the sun goes down? Missing my Tennessee man In an Arizona town. [VERSE 2 — playful attitude | blues guitar answers each line] Bet he's standing on that corner, Looking good in faded jeans. Some pretty little thing walks by, Wondering what that smile means. Well, she can have the scenery, She can have that desert sky. But she'd better keep on walking If she's looking at what's mine. [PRE-CHORUS — bass walks, snare builds] I ain't jealous, I ain't worried, Well, maybe just a little tonight. [CHORUS — FULL BAND | gritty vocal, driving groove] My Tennessee man in an Arizona town, Got his boots on the pavement, While my heart's breaking down. He's got that desert sunshine, I've got this Tennessee rain. He's out there chasing sunsets, I'm in here going insane. Ain't it funny how a woman Can be strong till the sun goes down? Missing my Tennessee man In an Arizona town. [BRIDGE — BEAT CUTS | gritty guitar, low vocal] I could tell him to come home, But that ain't how I love. I won't clip a man's wings Just because I'm missing his touch. [DRUMS KICK BACK — gritty, driving country-blues] But if he turns that truck around, I won't make him knock twice. I'll leave the porch light burning And make that long drive worth his while. [FINAL CHORUS — SHORT, RAW, STRONG] My Tennessee man in an Arizona town, Got me acting like I'm fine While I'm falling apart right now. He's got that desert sunshine, I've got this Tennessee rain. And I'd trade a thousand sunsets Just to hear him say my name. [OUTRO — guitar riff, hard snare ending] That Arizona sky can have him tonight... But Tennessee's where he belongs. [GUITAR BEND — CLEAN END]
