"Arizona" is a song written by Kenny Young and recorded by former Paul Revere and the Raiders member Mark Lindsay in 1969. The single was Number 9 for two weeks in the United States in early 1970 and was awarded a RlAA Gold Disc in April 1970.[1]
The song is about a man telling his hippie girlfriend, named Arizona, to stop acting like a teeny bopper and follow him instead. Lyrics in the song mention the girl to "get rid of her hobo shoes, rainbow shades, and Indian braids."[2]
