Story Behind The Song
While on tour with Ben Kweller and My Morning Jacket I encountered a major Dust/Rain Storm in Arizona. Clearly it doesn't always rain in Arizona, but for me it does.
Song Description
An infectious melody, banjo pickin' and thundrous guitar solos contribute to making this song so memorable.

Lyrics
Dust storms the red sky browned by the ground/
Wind blows but I’m known to get blown around/
Cover your head we’re gonna get wet tonight/
First we’ll get dirty, then the rain will purify us/
It always rains in Arizona
Come on, Come on y’all come outside, see what god has done/
Grab a partner, spin her round, we’re gon’ have some fun/
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, down on me
It always rains in Arizona
It’s pickin up, all that it can/
To shower on woman and man/
If it rains much harder, I may just have to shout/
It always rains in Arizona
I can see it raining now, I can see it raining down.
