Tucson Cactus Queen
album: Camel Rock (1995), track 10 of 13
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI
She's dancing in the sand out behind the car Singing the words, playing air-guitar Rocket Buster boots, a cactus corsage The spitting image of my desert mirage She wears a medicine bag of Painted Desert dirt Sedona Ramona, now, she's a piece of work She comes to the point but she's sweet in between The desert rules but she's the Cactus Queen CHORUS Here's a new song to Sedona Ramona Down in Tucson, southern Arizona She set me loose on account of her dreams I miss my Tucson Cactus Queen That highway's shimmering like gasoline I am on my way to my Cactus Queen Silver moonlight earrings spark Today was just tonight, waiting for the dark CHORUS BRIDGE It's a hundred and ten in the center of the night And those stars that fall like rain We're making love with all of our might And this river of fire is roaring through our veins CHORUS
