New Mexico

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 pass
 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 pass right on through
