New Mexico Lyrics — John Wesley Harding

(john w. wiggins/anthony smith/michael garvin)

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
