Tonight on a plane bound for dallas I see the bright lights of tucson below Shining on all of the memories I thought I'd finally let go It's been almost a year now Since I told her I could not stay And this achin' in my heart that I'm feelin' now Is the price I guess I'll have to pay
For leavin' tucson too soon At the time it was something that I just had to do But tonight face to face with that old desert moon It seems I left tucson too soon
From thirty-five thousand feet up in the sky The truth becomes clearer you know 'cause it wasn't till now that I realized The fool that I was long ago
For leavin' tucson too soon At the time it was something that I just had to do But tonight face to face with that old desert moon It seems I left tucson too soon It seems I left tucson too soon
