Arizona Star Guy Clark 'Twas in the town of Nashvile in the year of '75 This Arizona star just fell out of the sky Shinin' like a diamond she had tombstones in her eyes She liked drinkin' she like smokin' she like dancin' in the aisle She was a pre Madaonna primadonna part time southern belle She shoulda been an actress she played the part so well She might've been a singer you really couldn't tell She was the Arizona star and she was born to give 'em hell Chorus When you're cool the sun shines all the time So she always kept her shades on to keep from goin' blind She was cool she was out there so far Nothin' less and nothin' more than the Arizona star She had a girlfriend named George and George carries a sword> And wore purple tights and hung out every night I'm talking' 'bout a circus I'm talkin' 'bout three rings Four or five clowns in a washing machine She never met a stranger as far as I could tell She was the Arizona star Jim McGuire he knew her well She made a real an oxymoron she made mirrors she made smoke She had a curve ball that wouldn't quit a girlfriend for a joke Chorus
