Intro
G# D# C# G# 2x
[Verse 1]
G# D# C# G#
Spring without flowers is just as remorseful
G# D# C# G#
As an Autumn denied, the colored leaves fall.
G# D# C# G#
Winter is long, Winter has no snow.
G# D# C# G#
And Summer is painful, when the wind won’t blow.
G# D# C# G#
Welcome to my home no fear of pneumonia
G# D# C# G#
This is paradise. It’s Tucson, Arizona

[Verse 2]
G# D# C# G#
We came here for jobs. Money’s the thing,
G# D# C# G#
but no one told us there was just the Burger King.
G# D# C# G#
Minimum wage, maximum slave,
G# D# C# G#
the beer’s not cheap and I already gave.
G# D# C# G#
I don’t know if Tucson is the gateway to heaven,
G# D# C# G#
but you’re never more than 10 feet from a 7-11.

You don’t have a car? Don’t worry then.

We got a great bus system. Just be home by 10.
G# D# C# G#
Tucson, oh Tucson, what did I do,
G# D# C# G#
so wrong in my life, pause to deserve you
G# D# C# G#
I wanna leave. Maybe next week.
G# D# C# G#
My heart says GO but the rent’s so cheap!
[Chorus 1]
G# D# C# G#
Hawaii’s got surfin. We Got Cactus.
G# D# C# G#
LA’s got Hollywood. We Got Cactus.
G# D# C# G#
New York’s got night life. We Got Cactus.
