Blake Gorman - It Never Rains In Arizona Lyrics

You awoke in a desert sunrise
On the twenty-third of May
Sitting on your future in the mountains
Your mother says with a southern touch
"Girl you have to get moving
You've got a lot to learn and destiny on the prize"

Heading for the city
A thousand miles of wonder
Out the window, the day turns into night
And the journey haunts the small girl
At the simple thought of rain
Something that would seek her on the steel rails

It never rains in Arizona
The horses still graze across the plains
Out of the swinging screen door
Your mother with the luggage
And kisses you along your way

The eagles and the wildflowers
Dancing through the seasons
A memory saved bright inside your mind
A city on the horizon
The cold air from the bustle
In the night she tried to journey to her mother's canyon

It never rains in Arizona
The horses still graze across the plains
Out of the swinging screen door
Your mother with the luggage
And kisses you along your way

It's an adventure when you're learning
And it's just an old tape when you're older
But living in your short time
There's bound to be some changes
To reinstate your mother's goodbye

The savior in the city
Promised to you by some
As they hide away in the factories of the dead
And the path that lies before you
Gleaming in the sun if you turn around
And run back to the screen door

It never rains in Arizona
The horses still graze across the plains
Out of the swinging screen door
Your mother with the luggage
And kisses you along your way
