	Story Behind the Song I wrote this in Midland TX, needing something to rhyme with "Dallas" as an idea for a song. My love for southern Arizona took over and a song was born. Lyrics BACK IN NOGALES ©1993 by John G. Fausett Floating on a distant Sonoran dream Longing for that beautiful chaparral scene Memories of those southern Arizona days Dancing while the mariachi serenades Why am I so far away Here on the outskirts of Dallas? I have no reason to stay I should be back in Nogales! It's my kind of place Where the mountains and desert embrace My life is empty here So very lacking The time is drawing near I should be packing Driving with silhouettes of saguaros All around Nearing the waving grasslands by Nogales town Laughing as the mariachi welcomes me home Crying when I awaken from this dream ---- Still alone Why am I so far away Here on the outskirts of Dallas? I have no reason to stay I should be back in Nogales! It's my kind of place Where the mountains and desert embrace Why am I so far away Here on the outskirts of Dallas? I have no reason to stay I should be back in Nogales! It's my kind of place Where the mountains and desert embrace It's my kind of place Where the mountains and desert embrace
