about

Dedicated to the wine regions of Arizona

lyrics

The blood of the land is in the body of the west
And you can tell around harvest time
The fruits of labor make it a grand one to savor
Along with the struggle in the vine

You can make it on down to the Cochise County line
With the arid air in your nose
Taste the toils and triumphs and feel the trails of the migrants
Without leaving to see where it grows

(pre chorus)
I raise my glass up high
Come on and raise your glass to the sky
And toast to the whole desert wide

(chorus)
The west is still wild when you look on it for miles
But there’s a new kind of goldrush this time
Bringing the riches straight to your lips
Its the wine from these dusty vines

This has been the land of fighters since we learned what it offered
And its always rewarded the tough
These vines would make those old gunfighters proud
Surviving no matter how rough

For in this old desert you gotta take what you can get
And get while the getting’s good on the land
When the hard winds bring in the rain from the south
You can get clusters that fit in both hands

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)

I’m going up on the mesa with my dusty vino
And watching the sun go down
I revel in the land’s beauty and the wine in the glass
And the fact that it came from its ground

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
