[Verse 1]
A# F D# A#
Spring without flowers is just as remorseful

We came here for jobs. Money’s the thing,
A# F D# A#
but no one told us there was just the Burger King.
A# F D# A#
Minimum wage, maximum slave,
A# F D# A#
the beer’s not cheap and I already gave.
A# F D# A#
I don’t know if Tucson is the gateway to heaven,
A# F D# A#
but you’re never more than 10 feet from a 7-11.

Tucson, oh Tucson, what did I do,
A# F D# A#
so wrong in my life, pause to deserve you
A# F D# A#
I wanna leave. Maybe next week.
A# F D# A#
My heart says GO but the rent’s so cheap!
[Chorus 1]
