Arizona Star

'Twas in the town of Nashville in the year of '75

This Arizona star she just fell out of the sky

She was shinin' like a diamond, she had tombstones in her eyes

She liked drinkin', she liked smokin', she liked dancin' in the aisle

She was a pre-Madonna primadonna, part time southern belle

Man she shoulda been an actress, oh she played the part so well

She might've been a singer, but you really couldn't tell

She was the Arizona star and she was born to give 'em hell

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 nothin' less and nothin' more than the Arizona star

She had a girlfriend named George, and George carried a sword

And wore purple tights and they hung out every night

Oh I'm talkin' 'bout a circus man, I'm talkin' '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.

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 nothin' less and nothin' more than the Arizona star

She was cool, she was out there so far

She was nothin' less and nothin' more than the Arizona star
