Superstition Mountains

Backstory

A gift for my wife. My story. Our history. And an ode to the state that I love.

Lyrics

I stepped out of the shadow of the superstition mountains
I was wandering it's true, but I left behind my youth
Then you rolled in like a desert wind
Took my heart and my oxygen
Breathless, I was staring there at you

When the queen of the earth, the king of the deep
Get tired and retire
And they both go to sleep forever
I'll still be here with you

We went up to the crossing in the great white mountains
Arizona skies of blue
I was mesmerized by you, babe
You leaned in like the mountain wind
Lost my words and my breath again
Speechless I was leaning into you

When the queen of the earth, the king of the deep
Get tired and retire
And they both go to sleep forever
I'll still be here with you

We went down to the rivers of the Oak Creek Canyon
I was stumbling that's true
But I'd bet my life on you babe
You swept in like a Western wind
Lift me off of my feet and then
Weightless, I was floating there with you

When the queen of the earth
The king of the deep
Get tired and retire
And they both go to sleep forever
I'll still be here with you

When the queen of the earth
The king of the deep
Get tired and retire
And we both go to sleep forever
I'll still be here with you
