[Verse 1] Dawn came pink on the San Francisco Peaks I rolled from Flagstaff with the day half awake Ponderosa scent through the open window flew And every mile of Arizona looked brand new [Chorus] Arizona, wide and kind Red earth rolling by my side From the high pine shade to the desert floor I love this land and I love this road [Verse 2] Past Winslow, freight cars rattled in the sun A paper sack of peaches, and the miles rolled on The Little Colorado cut a silver seam While Painted Desert hills stood quiet as a dream [Chorus] Arizona, wide and kind Red earth rolling by my side From the high pine shade to the desert floor I love this land and I love this road [Verse 3] The road bent south where the saguaros stand Long green sentries in the copper-colored land Tucson lights were waiting way out ahead With the evening settling soft and rose-red [Bridge] I’ve crossed a dozen counties, still I’d gladly roam Every bend keeps telling me I’m closer to home [Final Chorus] Arizona, wide and kind Red earth rolling by my side From the high pine shade to the desert floor I love this land and I love this road Yes, I love this land and I love this road [Outro] Let the miles roll on, let the warm wind blow Arizona, I love this road
