Albuquerque

Albuquerque, casino lights The smarter man might just drive right by But I put my savings on a roulette game Or any old red number, I got twenty-eight That's a risk you run when you go all in But I'm not going to New Mexico again 'Cause there's a mountain there that I'll never climb It put a cavern in my heart, spreading deep and wide Yeah, I took the gamble, laid it all there at her feet There goes Albuquerque, taking everything from me And now every mirror is just a west bound train With a one-way ticket to things I know I'll never change And it breaks my spirit how it burns my bones Seeing that between us, all I'll ever know It's just a mountain there that I'll never climb It put a cavern in my heart, spreading deep and wide Yeah, I took the gamble, laid it all there at her feet There goes Albuquerque, taking everything from me Oh, what I'd give to hold her But all my pride and closure are piled up With the one thing that I can't get over 'Cause there's a mountain there that I'll never climb It put a cavern in my heart, spreading deep and wide Yeah, I took the gamble, laid it all there at her feet There goes Albuquerque, taking everything from me Taking everything from me
