(Mark Nesler - Tracy Byrd)

Tonight on a plane bound for Dallas
I see the bright lights of Tucson below
Shining on all of the mem'ries
I thought I'd finally let go.

It's been almost a year now
Since I told her I could not stay
And this aching in my heart that I'm feeling
Now is the price I guess I'll have to pay.

For leaving Tucson too soon
At the time it was something that I just had to do
But tonight face to face with that old desert moon
It seems I left Tucson too soon.

--- Instrumental ---

From thirty five thousand feet up in the sky
The truth becomes clearer you know
'Cause it wasn't till now that I realized
The fool that I was long ago.

For leaving Tucson too soon
At the time it was something that I just had to do
But tonight face to face with that old desert moon
It seems I left Tucson too soon.

It seems I left Tucson too soon...
