(john w. wiggins/anthony smith/michael garvin)
The season for the rodeo is over
and he's usually back home this time of year
but i haven't heard a word since
he called me from santa fe
something in his voice said you were stealing him away
New mexico - have i lost him to your sunset
do your mountains life him higher than my love
new mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see
if tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me
He said he'd never seen a place more beautiful
and he talked of maybe moving there someday
where the stars in the sky shine like diamonds every night
i wonder if he sees those stars in someone else's eyes
New mexico - have i lost him to your sunset
do your mountains life him higher than my love
new mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see
if tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me
