Tucumcari on My Mind

Well I got home, and the phone was ringing A familiar voice on the line My heart skipped a beat for my baby who walked out Two months ago tonight He's in a place called Tucumcari He said, "Honey, I got some pretty good news I got a job, and there's a little house for sale With a yucca in the back and a mountain view" He says I can join him tomorrow All I got to do is say yes I can ride out in the morning So go to sleep, girl, get your rest I can't sleep, I can't sleep When I got Tucumcari on my mind Well I toss, and I turn 'Cause I got Tucumcari on my mind Well I met him three summers ago He was handsome as the days were long As the months and then the years went by He was wild as my love was strong I gave him the ultimatum I said, "Boy, you've got to make up your head" I thought I would keep my baby But I got an empty house instead I can't sleep, I can't sleep When I got Tucumcari on my mind Well I toss, and I turn 'Cause I got Tucumcari on my mind Now he says he's sorry He's been thinking of me all the time My bags are packed for the desert And I'm ready to drive all night I'm going to Tucumcari And Tucumcari's on my mind I'm on the bleakest roads, but I won't stop 'Til I see the New Mexico sunrise I can't sleep, I can't sleep When I got Tucumcari on my mind Well I toss, and I turn 'Cause I got Tucumcari on my mind I can't sleep, I can't sleep When I got Tucumcari on my mind Well I toss, and I turn 'Cause I got Tucumcari on my mind
