(Verse 1) I can hear my sky-blue Jetta humming through the dining room wall Now it's Got me dusting off the map of Phoenix that I taped to the mirror so tall Now mind tracing Highway 40 with a shaking sore bum While the floorboards rattle like a distant kinda drum I’ll pull out of Wonder Lake and leave the puddle behind Head south past Joliet with a heavy weighted mind Down through Springfield, where the tall grass grows (puff puff pass) Past the St. Louis Arch where the wide river flows. We're we had to stop to get gas puff puff pass well pumping gas (Pre-Chorus) (Call) The mountains are calling (Response) But the roots are deep (Call) The canyons are falling (Response) While the city sleeps. (Chorus) Oh, Arizona’s waiting like a long-lost friend With a red rock sky and a road without an end But my mother’s on the porch and my sister’s down the wonder view street And the heart can’t move on these unsteady feet Yeah, I’m leaning toward the West, but I’m tethered to the door I want the canyon floor, but I love them more and more Yeah, I love them more. [Drum Solo] (Verse 2) Through the Missouri night and the Oklahoma light Crossing Amarillo where the wind starts to blow But I’m thinking of Nikolina and Laura back home And how it’d feel to be a thousand miles alone I’d miss Aiden’s laugh and Ava’s bright smile And keeping up with Addie for every single mile The New Mexico mesas have a sunset kinda a glow But those grandkids are the only world I'll ever need to know. [Guitar Solo] (Bridge) Through Albuquerque streets where the air turns thin Past the Flagstaff pines where the desert begins It’s a thousand miles of longing, it’s a lifetime of regret I haven’t packed a single bag, haven't left just yet. (Chorus) Oh, Arizona’s waiting like a long-lost friend With a red rock sky and a road without an end But my mother’s on the porch and my sister’s down the wonder view street And the heart can’t move on these unsteady feet Yeah, I’m leaning toward the West, but I’m tethered to the door I want the canyon floor, but I love them more and more Yeah, I love them more. (Outro) (Call) Love them more (Response) Down to Phoenix heat (Call) Love them more (Response) But I can’t leave this Nimitz drive street. Love them more more more more more (Outro) [End]
