City Lights, oh so bright Reaching for the heavens in the night Quite a sight, those city lights Making the moon seem full here every night
But, I wonder how the stars feel Trying their best to glow Just like the real cowboy That's still here, but no one knows And I'm thinking while I'm driving And I check my rear view mirror The city sure looks prettier from here
Well, I make my home, among the sticks and stones To me it's the prettiest place I've ever known Where the ironwood grows, and the saguaro When it rains the creosote on the wind still blows But when the sun sinks low, in the West I know I'm gonna see the sky as God wished it to glow
And I know just how the stars feel As they so proudly glow Looking out in wonder At my Arizona home And I think each time I'm driving And I check my rear view mirror The city sure looks prettier from here
And though I know that objects may be Closer than they appear The city still looks prettier from here
