Arizona Star Lyrics by Guy Clark

The Dark

0

[Verse 1]
It was in the town of Nashville in the year of '75
This Arizona star, she just fell out of the sky
She was shining like a diamond
She had tombstones in her eyes
She liked drinking, she liked smoking
She liked dancing in the aisles
She was a pre-Madonna primadonna
Part-time southern belle
Man, she should have been an actress
Oh she played the part so well
She might have been a singer, but you really couldn't tell
She was the Arizona star and she was born to give them hell
[Chorus]
When you're cool, the sun shines all the time
So she always kept her shades on to keep from going blind
She was cool, she was out there so far
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona star
[Verse 2]
She had a girlfriend named George and George carried a sword
And wore purple tights and they hung out every night
Oh I'm talking 'bout a circus man
I'm talking 'bout three rings
And there was four or five clowns
In a washing machine
But she never met a stranger as far as I could tell
She was the Arizona star and Jim McGuire, he knew her well
She made real an oxymoron
She made mirrors, she made smoke
She had a curve ball that wouldn't quit
And a girlfriend for a joke
[Chorus]
When you're cool, the sun shines all the time
So she always kept her shades on to keep from going blind
She was cool, she was out there so far
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona star
[Outro]
She was cool, she was out there so far
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona star
