It’s been three long years since I left it But I see it in my dreams And I watch those wind-worn mountains Baking brightly in the sun And I walk far out in the moonlight Drink the dark like a Spanish wine Talking to the old saguaro With tomorrow far from my mind
CHORUS I’m on my way back to Tucson once again On my way back to Tucson one more time
It’s a lesson of the desert That we all need water to live And you learn alone in the silence That you just can’t live without love Driving down this desert highway I’m just a cousin to the wind But when I get to Tucson I’ll be a long-lost friend among friends.
