Big D, you're killin' me you really got me down

I really wanna see you in my rear view, rollin' out of town

I'm tired of your Plano downtown cliff dwellin' Deep Ellum Blues - spread the news

That I'm runnin' for the hills, and I ain't stopping lest I have to cool my shoes

I have seen the red rock canyons of New Mexico

Sangre de Cristo, I'm headed west, as fast as I can go

I'm taking what's left of me, in search of some recovery for my soul - I gotta roll

If I don't get to Glorieta, it's a sure fire bet I'm gonna lose control

Glorieta, I can hear your calls to me echo through the canyon, singing out my name

Even better when the nighttime falls, like the ghost of some old rebel or the whistle of a train

And a sky so full of stars, just as far as I can see

Glorieta, let me tell ya, in your arms is where I wanna be

I want to wake up and step outside my door

Breathe in that mountain air, where city sounds just can't be heard no more

Cause I can't take those brick breaking traffic jamming jack hammering blues - spread the news

That I'm headed cross the state line into mountain time, before I blow my fuse

Glorieta, I can hear your calls to me echo through the canyon, singing out my name

Even better when the nighttime falls like the ghost of some old rebel or the whistle of a train

And a sky so full of stars, just as far as I can see

Glorieta, let me tell ya, in your arms is where I wanna be

Glorieta, let me tell ya, there ain't no place that I'd rather be
