She's a master at deceiving
But he finally learned the truth
He licked his wounds and stopped the bleeding
But his scars are living proof
She took everything she needed
The wreckage never follows her
She leaves it with the ones still grieving
For things to be the way they were
Chorus:
We don't hear much news from Arizona
She said she'd be back in the fall
But it's warm and sunny in Sedona
And I don't think she'll be coming back at all
Now she's way up in the pinons
Some place she's never been before
She'll never look back on Virginia
Now she's found another open door
She's used to moving in and out
There's nothing she can't leave behind
Life's too short and not about
A ring or towing some old line
Chorus:
Everyone does what they must
He knew the odds were risky
He sits in the dying dusk
And pours another whiskey
Still he held on to his pride
Through all the doubt and suspicion
And all the hollow spin she tried
To use for ammunition
Chorus:
