[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A
Arizona Desert, three
 in the afternoon
A
No place for me to be, 
twenty-eighth day of June
A
I see lizards crawling, 
some things that are not there
A
Sun is shining so damn hot. 
Lord, I can\'t breathe this air

[Chorus]
          D
I\'m on my way from L.A., 
and back to Tennessee
    A
I\'m stranded in the desert,
 feels like the devil\'s got me
   F           Em           
Convertible is slowing down,
       F          Em
 looks like a Cadillac
  F          Em      
A redhead is driving, 
             D
a blonde is sleeping 
in the back
                           A
A blonde\'s sleeping in the back

[Verse 2]
A
She throws me the keys,
 I put my guitar in the trunk
A
Would you like to drive? 
She said, \"I\'m about half drunk\"
A
She handed me a can of beer, 
so cold it hurt my hand
A
Oasis in the desert, Lord, 
I\'ve found the promised land

[Chorus]
            D
So I struck out down the 
highway with my big foot on the gas
   A
My prayers have all been answered,
 now my bad luck\'s in the past
F               Em     
Looking at that redhead, 
        F                Em
I can see she ain\'t no slouch
         F             Em       
And that blonde in the backseat, 
         D
come on now and shut my mouth
                        A
Come on now and shut my mouth

[Verse 3]
A
Right down this hot rock 
silence, after a while
A
That\'s when I first noticed
 that redhead\'s wicked smile
A
Why don\'t you pull off the road, 
son? We\'ll find us a shade
A
Maybe when that scorching
 sun goes down, 
better time can be made

[Chorus]
            D
Well that\'s how I spend
 the afternoon, 28th day of June
        A
You can bet that\'s not one
 I\'ll be forgetting soon
       F                 Em   
By the time the sun went down,
            F               Em
 me and the redhead wrote a book
F              Em          
When I looked around, Lord, 
     D
the blonde was waking up
                           A
Hey, the blonde was waking up

[Outro]
A
(Arizona desert, 
three in the afternoon) oh my God
A
(Arizona desert, 
three in the afternoon)
A
(Arizona desert,
 three in the afternoon)
A
(Arizona desert, 
three in the afternoon)
