Lyrics

Somethin bout the desert keeps me sane
cannot say I really miss the rain
I will take a cactus over pines
You can keep that snow, I will be fine

Yeah in summer it gets pretty hot
but it don't matter cuz of what I've got
early morning I go for a walk
man I swear those sunrises could talk

There's the gold that I've been looking for
Not in the hills or in the bank
Ever since that Arizona sunrise hit my eyes
It's in my veins
And nothing's been the same.

Everyone's got some idea of home
to find it maybe you will need to roam
I tried out a lot of different spots
Cut all my stuff down to just one box

Always used to sleepwalk through my days
counting all the sheep in a haze
Then I found myself facing west
sun warming my eyes like I'd been blessed

There's the gold that I've been looking for
Not in the hills or in the bank
Ever since that Arizona sunrise hit my eyes
It's in my veins
And nothing's been the same.

Red cliffs petroglyphs
speed at which the storms hit
cactus flowers in moonlight
stars at night are twice as bright
quartz shines in the sand
this sure ain't no wasteland
Nothing here is wasted
Nothing here is wasted on me
No one's gonna take this from me

There's the gold that I've been looking for
Not in the hills or in the bank
Ever since that Arizona sunrise hit my eyes
It's in my veins
And nothing's been the same.
