Lyrics

Verse 1

I left the desert dust behind me
Crossed the ocean, chased a dream
But late at night when it gets quiet
Those Arizona memories call to me

Chorus

I miss Tombstone and Bisbee, the old Wild West still alive
Where the silver and copper mines once made the strong men thrive
Boothill and Brewery Gulch, those stories never die
Lord I miss Tombstone and Bisbee tonight

Verse 2

The gunfight at the O.K. Corral
The copper lights of Bisbee’s hills
That rugged spirit, that open sky
Still runs deep in these veins of mine

Chorus

I miss Tombstone and Bisbee, the old Wild West still alive
Where the silver and copper mines once made the strong men thrive
Boothill and Brewery Gulch, those stories never die
Lord I miss Tombstone and Bisbee tonight

Steel Guitar Solo


Final Chorus

Yeah I miss Tombstone and Bisbee, “The Town Too Tough to Die”
Queen of the Copper Camps shining underneath that desert sky
No matter how far I roam, they’re always on my mind
I miss Tombstone and Bisbee… with all my heart tonight

Outro

Tombstone and Bisbee… take me home…
