Lyrics

Where is the grass?
Where is the water?
How did this place grow?

Who walked the miles
To find the red mountains
And build a home so long ago?

We all come to see
The sun setting behind the silhouette of a saguaro
And cow skulls in the sand

Surprise, surprise
Life is alive and well in Arizona
Surprise, surprise
Life is alive and well in Arizona

Life is a song
We play it from memory
We know it by heart

Melodies change
Snow-covered to cactus
But you can always read the stars

We all come to see
the sun setting behind the silhouette of a saguaro
And cow skulls in the sand

Surprise, surprise
Life is alive and well in Arizona
Surprise, surprise
Life is alive and well in Arizona

It’s hot and it’s dry
Like there’s no signs of life
But if you open your eyes

Surprise, surprise
Life is alive and well in Arizona
Surprise, surprise
Life is alive and well in Arizona

Arizona, Arizona
