soon i'm gonna leave this place for good
the city lies as the city should
yeah you know theres 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 mountain's 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
