10. 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.
