Sheʼs a master at deceiving
But he finally learned the truth
He licked his wounds and stopped the bleeding
But his scars are living proof
She took everything she needed
The wreckage never follows her
She leaves it with the ones still grieving
For things to be the way they were
[Chorus]
We donʼt hear much news from Arizona
She said sheʼd be back in the fall
But itʼs warm and sunny in Sedona
And I donʼt think sheʼll be coming back at all
Now sheʼs way up in the pinons
Some place sheʼs never been before
Sheʼll never look back on Virginia
Now sheʼs found another open door
Sheʼs used to moving in and out
Thereʼs nothing she canʼt leave behind
Lifeʼs too short and not about
A ring or towing some old line
[Chorus]
Everyone does what they must
He knew the odds were risky
He sits in the dying dusk
And pours another whisky
Still he held on to his pride
Through all the doubt and suspicion
And all the hollow spin she tried
To use for ammunition
[Chorus]
