New Mexico

Rubber tires on a lonely road

Flying through New Mexico

Shadows never stray too far

From the light of where you are

I just wanna let my hair down

Laugh with strangers, be the clown

Nothing here is mine to keep

I kiss the day and go back to sleep

And when I think of the one I love

I start counting stars above

But when I think of the ones I've lost

I start counting up the cost

Lucky break to broken down

Just gotta make it to the next town

Growing soft but acting tough

Gave all I had, but it wasn't enough

Scraps of paper and words of glass

Trails of memory you must pass

Through every thought that's come and gone

Well, nothing ever lasts too long

And when I leave behind this crowd

Could you say my name out loud?

Let the echo fly light and free

And you can start forgetting me
