Arizona Sky

[Verse 1]
As a kid it can seem detestable
In my seat till I eat my vegetables
Okay mom! I’ll be respect-a-ful
Choke this down though it’s not digestible
Years later I still haven’t changed for a hankering for a treat so delectable
I’m in my 30s and I got a room full of Pokémon and collectibles
I still laugh at a fart and I’ve got a Charizard that’ll hold up with the best of you
I still crap when I s#@%+ and play Mario Kart as things that I’m just meant to do
Red light turns green and my dad says
“Not gonna get much greener than that!”
When the car in front won’t lean on the gas
Now I have the same comedy as my dad

[Chorus]
This is just what it was like
Wanna bе a DeCuir well alright
Hop on in let’s takе a ride
Look at that Arizona Sky

[Verse 2]
So we climbed in a Plymouth Voyager
Mom called me ornery had to get a boy to church
‘Nother boy, nother boy, nother boy in the Word
I would rather play with a toy I’m a nerd
Getting back home I’m annoyed about turns
On the SNES with 3 brothers
Play for 30 every 2 hours
In between reading the new Nintendo Power
When they sky had fireworks in it
My dad would have em saying “ooh ahh” in a minute
Now every 4th of July I don’t forget it
Grew up and I had to move on do how we did it ey
And I couldn’t change even if I wanted
It’s been engrained way back as a youngin’
In sin ashamed I know that I’m running
In Jesus’ name pray not away from Him

[Chorus]
This is just what it was like
Wanna be a DeCuir well alright
Hop on in let’s take a ride
Look at that Arizona Sky

[Verse 3]
Were different I found out
Around Christmas we look at lights ‘round town
And if you listen we’re singing out loud
And we’re Christian I used to doubt but now
I’m glad I had the Lord to fall back on
When I woke it hurt to know that I was out so long
Lotta Memories Lost is what I’ll call that song
And it hurt more knowing I went to far to be wrong
Seems so dumb
If I didn’t lose me would I need to be numb
Dad cruising down the street to a busy one
Like “Where’s everyone else at? Oh here they come!”
Where a monsoon leaves skies pink and purple
And not much to do but drive in a circle
When I say I’m a nerd don’t be thinking Urkel
Hard to drive that one home it’s not external

[Chorus]
This is just what it was like
Wanna be a DeCuir well alright
Hop on in let’s take a ride
Look at that Arizona Sky
