Playing Hearts in Arizona

[Verse]
In a little town in Arizona, where the evening's always dry,
We gather 'round the table, 'neath a star-stretched open sky,
The cards are dealt with flair, and the stakes they start to rise,
In this dusty, swinging haven, where the ace is no disguise.
[Verse 2]
We got cowboys, we got dreamers, and a crooner in the mix,
Each one’s got a strategy, and a few old poker tricks,
The moonlight casts a spotlight, on the tales we never tell,
In the smoky room of secrets, where the melodies do swell.
[Chorus]
So let's play hearts in Arizona, with a sultry jazz refrain,
Luck, it rides on whispers, like the soft desert rain,
With each shuffle and each gamble, our fortunes ebbs and flow,
In this desert town oasis, where the rhythms smooth and slow.
[Verse 3]
The dealer's got a wry grin, he's seen it all before,
From bluffs as old as cacti, to truths buried in folklore,
His hands as nimble as the night, the cards they seem to dance,
In Arizona's dusky twilight, the game is pure romance.
[Bridge]
And when the game is over, and the night begins to fade,
We sing of wins and heartaches, that the cards have only made,
The melodies of memory, they linger in the air,
In this Arizona evening, where the jazz is always fair.
[Chorus]
So let's play hearts in Arizona, with a sultry jazz refrain,
Luck, it rides on whispers, like the soft desert rain,
With each shuffle and each gamble, our fortunes ebbs and flow,
In this desert town oasis, where the rhythms smooth and slow.
