Motels and hotels ain't no place to stay
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
And music meant more than fortune or fame
Won't pay for the living, we're giving away
And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
The favors we're taking, the money we're making
Seems the farther we go, all that grows closer
Where stars were for shining in the Arizona sky
We rolled through the towns like a bus load of gypsies
Willie, we wandered from border to border
Is a mind full of memories we made years ago
Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train
And go back to Phoenix to a far brighter day
Singing our stories and living our songs
And music meant more than fortune or fame
Hey Willie, let's pack up and catch us a slow train
