New Mexico Rain

Intro Verse Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky-tonk bar And I’m thinking where I’d rather be Maybe chasing señoritas down in Old Mexico Or standing at the edge of the sea If I had the money I tell you honey We’d be on that first plane to Spain But as long as we’re here the answer is clear We’ll dance in the New Mexico rain New Mexico R-a-in, it’s hot down in Texas New Mexico R-a-in, yeah and I call this my home If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam Verse The lights of the city keep calling my name But I have been through that before It’s a giant hotel on a long four lane street It’s got a checkout time on the door If I had the money I tell you honey We’d be on that New Delhi train But as long as we’re here the answer is clear We’ll waltz in the New Mexico rain New Mexico R-a-in, it’s hot down in Texas New Mexico R-a-in, yeah and I call this my home If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam Verse I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar And he sure seems unhappy to me He tells me he’s going nowhere and he’s going there fast And he envies this life that I lead If I had the money I tell you honey I’d keep him from going insane I know there’s one thing for sure, there just ain’t no cure Like a walk in the New Mexico rain New Mexico R-a-in, yeah it’s hot down in Texas New Mexico R-a-in, I call this my home If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam Outro
