Zoe Muth And The Lost High Rollers - New Mexico lyrics

New Mexico down on Central Avenue Where the old highway goes running through And all that I can do ,all that I can do Is think of you With someone new I got a job waiting tables in the middle of the night See the sunrise in my rear view mirror Wake up to see the last of its light But I don't mind, no I don't mind Because that hot desert sun beating down on this side of town Well it ain't a pretty sight A few old men and some young drunks they'll try to make a pa** But I just have to look them straight in the eye And I say please don't even ask ‘Cause there's no one who, there's no one who Can make my tired old life Seem new and unused I guess there's always gotta be someone out on the highway Laying down all that tar And there's always gotta be someone serving up the drinks Down at the bar But I don't want to be slaving my life away If it's just to pay for all the things I never knew quite how to say Dirty old blackbird landed on my window sill I didn't want him to leave so I sat there watching him perfectly still Until he finally flew, and when he finally flew I asked him to cut a hole in the morning sky That I could pa** right on through
