Lyrics
New Mexico
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The season for the rodeo is over
And he's usually back home this time of year
But I haven't heard a word since
He called me from santa fe
Something in his voice said you were stealing him away
New mexico - have I lost him to your sunset
Do your mountains life him higher than my love
New mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see
If tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me
He said he'd never seen a place more beautiful
And he talked of maybe moving there someday
Where the stars in the sky shine like diamonds every night
I wonder if he sees those stars in someone else's eyes
New mexico - have I lost him to your sunset
Do your mountains life him higher than my love
New mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see
If tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me
