In the final verse, he observes that while he has "never been to heaven," he has "been to Oklahoma," where he was told he was born, thus implying a kinship between the two places . Hoyt Axton explained that he originally wrote, "...in Oklahoma, born in a coma ..." However, it was considered inappropriate; thus, the lyrics were changed to "not Arizona ." </P>
