“Arizona” by James William Foley

Arizona by James William Foley

Arizona

Here’s to the land of the rock and the cactus,
The sun and the sand and the sky,
Where the weather is hot and the tourists are flocking,
And the cowboys are riding high.
Here’s to the land where the copper is gleaming,
The land of the orange and vine,
Here’s to the land of the mountain and mesa,
Where hearts are as warm as the clime.
