Carefree Arizona

She loved the clay on every hillside

She loved the skyline painted red

She loves the heat

That rises from the rooftops

When it’s about as hot as summer gets

She fell in love at only 18

But trouble was the underscore

It was a one way ticket headed for disaster

But she thought that she could love a little more

In a land of contradictions

It’s so bitter it’s tastes sweet

She’s growin tired of hoping things get better cause

What’s the price of giving up your peace

She won’t be waiting on the front porch

She stopped checkin on her phone

She’s done believin’ that he changed or ever gonna

She’s leavin carefree

Carefree, Arizona

And there’s a road sign with an arrow

It’s the only place to go

It’s pointing to the hills

He thinks that she’ll go running but

She’s turned it around

So he don’t know

There a witness on a pine tree

Initials carved in the bark

Wonder if that tree will ever get the healin’

The kind she’s needing for her heart

Cause now the seasons turned the pages

Today her cryin fell like a rain

She’s a runway trailer lookin for an exit while

He’s out gettin drunk again

She won’t be waiting on that front porch

She stopped checkin on the phone

She’s done believing that he changed or ever gonna

And she’s leavin carefree

Carefree Arizona

She won’t be waiting on that front porch

She stopped checkin on that phone

She’s done believin’ that he changed or ever gonna

She’s leavin carefree

Carefree, Arizona

She’s leavin carefree

Carefree, Arizona
