Soon I'm gonna leave this place for good
The city lies as the city should
Yeah, you know there's just
One place to be
New Mexico wait for me
And oh, I wanna go
Where the air is clean
And oh, New Mexico wait for me
When I was a boy I would dream at night
A cowboy's dream by a cowboy light
Even though I haven't got to ride in yet
New Mexico won't forget
And oh, I wanna go
Where the air is clean
And oh, New Mexico wait for me
And I'm gonna take a ride
Through the mountains gallow
Stare into the great array
Maybe take a bath in the San Francisco
This is where I'll stay
Oh, I wanna go where the air is clean
Oh, New Mexico wait for me
New Mexico wait for me
