    Story Behind the Song
    Originally written in 1981 to communicate my love for the southwestern U.S., the music was changed in 1997.

    Lyrics
    SOUTHWESTERN SPLENDOR
    ©1981 by John G. Fausett

    I am the land of desolate wonder
    Deep blue skies, and great summer thunder
    Many are the colors my regions will render
    Call me by name, the Southwestern Splendor

    Southwestern Splendor

    I am the land of the cactus and pine tree
    Shimmering desert under lofty peak scenery
    I'll change my mood, often without warning
    Smiling in the sun, then suddenly storming

    Southwestern Splendor
    Southwestern Splendor

    Nature's never known a greater variety
    Of fauna and flora in a rugged society
    From sunlit saguaro to snowy ponderosa
    Peregrine falcon to the monster of Gila

    Southwestern Splendor

    I am the land of desolate wonder
    Deep blue skies, and great summer thunder
    Many are the colors my regions will render
    Call me by name, the Southwestern Splendor

    Southwestern Splendor
    Southwestern Splendor

    Run, run, run, for the
    Splendor's overtaking you
    Run, run, run, for the
    Splendor's captivating you
    Run, run, run into the fiery sunset
    Run, run, run, but it will capture you yet!
