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
