This was a "courtship song" for Helen, combining an idea I had about twins living different lives along with the phrase "Never been to Tucson", which for some reason I thought was cool (in fact, for my only public guitar/singing performance with Hue, we called ourselves "Never Been to Tucson"). The twins idea flowed so well in the lyric that I think this is one of the best songs I've written.
Verse
Some say that everyone has a twin somewhere
Living another life
And if that's true, she might see things differently
Wrong could just be right
Walking the streets of a faraway town
Where the sun takes hours to go down
On a warm Arizona night
Chorus
I've never been to Tucson
But I hear it's a real nice place
I wish I were there
To meet your twin face to face
Verse
She'd have the same smile that I keep seeing
Whenever my thoughts run free
She'd have the same lips that kissed me once
That seemed to care for me
Maybe she wouldn't be afraid
Of memories that haven't yet been made
In Arizona she could just be
Chorus
I've never been to Tucson
But I think I could make the drive
And me and your twin
Might see things eye to eye
Bridge
She wouldn't think about the future
I wouldn't think about the past
Dreams wouldn't fade in Arizona
Time wouldn't run away so fast
Chorus
I've never been to Tucson
But I hear it's a real good time
If I were there
Me and your twin would shine
I've never been to Tucson
But I hope to go sometime
If I were there
Maybe your twin would be mine
