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
