	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
