{verse}
I was stGung by the sting of the wGorst of bees in NCew Orleans
I was scGared and unpreGpared but right there I was hCappy
The oGne sunset I won't forget
You toCok my breath it was so perfect
The joAmurney of me and yDou started in NGew Orleans
{verse}
We got the bGest quality for lGess in TexCas
Two sGunset straight, we learGned its a state you don't mCess with
GPapa John's with the TV on
CBack when summer just begun
My fAmew but favourite Dmemories of TGexas
{verse}
I wore a coGwboy hat reading a cGountry map in New MCexico
We had I tGhink we lost silence but GI'm the co-pilot; that's the Cbest for you, you know
GHalfway down the inter state
You lCeft your phone at that picnic place
I keAmpt a cool face while yDou were irate in New GMexico
{chorus}
And Ammaybe one day yCou'll come to my town singing
AmI love you oh oh ohC  
AmI'll look at you wCith that same old smile and I'll say
AmWhere d'you wanna go oCh oh oh
{verse}
I saw the wGorld behind the wheel, I lGearnt how to feel in ArCizona
I saw the sGtars felt the change, you Gfell hard, I felt the same and I sChow'd ya
GThe camp site or maybe the inn
I dCon't know where this one begins
I just knAmow my heart lies beneDath the stars in ArizoGna
