Johnny Arizona Lyrics

Horseshoe, feather and an arrowhead

Paint a picture in the sand

I walk this dry creek bed

Mmm, I know this land

Desert dust in the twilight

Sparkles in my hand

Reckon just about midnight

I'll see the first man

I don't make no apologies

I don't live with regret

Maybe I'll see the morning

Maybe I'll meet my death

To the men that hunt me

You better bring ten when you come around

Because I'm gonna take nine

And put them in the ground

Johnny Arizona, that's my name

It ain't no lie

This here's where I was born and

This here's where I'll die

She was a black haired beauty

A woman untamed

Naked in the night

Devil's daughter, no shame

Draped together in evil

Darkest night I've ever known

Her teeth ripped me like a dagger

Jagged wounds to the bone

I can see her face

Laughing and spitting at me

Drinking snake's venom

Like a whore on her knees

I can feel her skin

Hot on my hand, I took her to the ground

Fire in her eyes

Smiling as she took my round

Johnny Arizona, that's my name

It ain't no lie

This here's where I was born and

This here's where I'll die

Mama

I only did what I had to do

Now I'm coming back to you

Mama
