    tough place to get and keep a good job. But everytime I get mad and want to leave, I look at the catalinas, the cholla and the critters and change my mind

    Story Behind the Song
    This is my second go-round in Tucson, trying to find work that pays decent and that I can support a family on. I love this place, but it's so difficult...but that's nothing new for folks here

    Lyrics
    So hard to stay in Tucson
    David Kendall Grant
    Wednesday, April 17, 2002

    C F
    So hard to stay in Tucson
    C
    But I’m trying every day
    So hard to stay in Tucson
    When you’re a million miles away
    (when you’re scrambling for some pay)

    C F
    I was pulled in by a magnet
    G
    By a promise
    C
    Employment as the Catcher in the Rye
    It later evaporated
    Like a monsoon
    Out of reach like the Chem-Trails in the sky

    You can smell the money
    In every pink face, blue haired
    Widow crawling by
    But it’s not sticking to me
    I’ll be selling papers
    Down on Ina by and by

    Chorus

    I’m her little Javelina
    Rooting round for love to catch her eye
    I just want to please her
    She guards me like a warthog in the sky
    Her embrace like saguaros
    Feels good but makes me cry
    Everytime I try to hold her
    I get needles
    What's the point to even try


    Break

    F C
    Then, when the snowbirds all depart
    F C
    The Putsch Ridge shining in the dark
    F
    We have the Old Pueblo’s heart
    G
    All to ourselves

    My tires are sticking in Tucson
    We’ll make it through another
    Mi Corazon, Tucson
    My melted heart is here to stay

    Trying hard to stay in Tucson
    But I’m trying every day
    Mi Corazon Tucson
    Wouldn’t have it any other way
