lyrics

I drove up to Santa Fe
I had work to do, ain’t no time to play
I rolled down through Albuquerque
Just in time to get in your way

You parked your little black car right in the middle of the street
I came ‘round a bend, my guitar flew out of her seat
You took your sweet ol’ time but you were already beat
I knew it was just a matter of when I’d sweep you off your feet

I took a wrong left turn, it was the right way to go, oh – oh
Drivin’ up them mountaintops in New Mexico, oh – oh
Oh those desert skies and moonshining hills, oh – oh
Waiting on the sunrise to make sense of what’s real

I remember the night I sat under that big Ponderosa
That was about the time I could feel it getting closer
I picked a Primrose from the ground and a Braeburn from a tree
I addressed you by name and asked you to dance with me
Maybe we’re trying too hard

I drove down to Los Alamos
Still had work to do but it was oh so close
I rolled up to be a good host
Just in time to meet with their ghosts

I took a wrong left turn, it was the right way to go, oh – oh
Drivin’ up them mountaintops in New Mexico, oh – oh
Oh those desert skies and moonshining hills, oh – oh
Waiting on the sunrise to make sense of what’s real

Waiting on the sunrise to make sense of what’s real
Waiting on the sunrise to make sense of what’s real
