Contents 1 Content 2 Music video 3 Chart performance 3.1 Year - end charts 4 References Content The narrator talks about how a man sets off to Arizona, and promises to send for the woman ( the narrator ) when he has things set up. Time goes by and she gets one postcard with no return address, then nothing more. She tries to hold out hope that he 'll come back or send for her but finally, as her friends keep asking her when she 's going, she realizes that the dream of having a better life with him in Arizona is never going to come true. She realizes that the wonderful, love - filled paradise she had hoped for was just a lie, or, to be generous, a pipe dream, the man told her when he left her. Her vision of Arizona does not exist.
