Arizona Song"Arizona"by Rex Allen, Jr.I love you, Arizona; Your mountains, deserts and streams; The rise of Dos Cabezas* And the outlaws I see in my dreams;I love you Arizona, Superstitions and all; The warmth you give at sunrise; Your sunsets put music in us all.Oo, Arizona; You're the magic in me; Oo, Arizona, You're the life-blood of me;I love you Arizona; Desert dust on the wind; The sage and cactus are blooming, And the smell of the rain on your skin.Oo, Arizona; You're the magic in me; Oo, Arizona, You're the life-blood of me;
