VERSE 1:
Ancient Zia sun
Gotta come and get us some
Of that air there on your porch
Yeah call up Kokopelli
Tell him we’re on the way way
To spend some time at his resort
PRE-CHORUS:
Like the hummingbird flies
We'll cross the state line
Well I'll tell you
Don’t mind if I do
CHORUS:
Light a swisher sweet
Roll up my jeans
And dip one foot in a Cimmaron stream
With the one I love parked next to me
Sitting there like a dream eating Minnie’s ice cream
On the way to Taos we’ll overload them speaks
With a little bitta little Michael Martin Murphey
Without a doubt
I’m where I wanna to be
Doing this New Mexico
Doing this New Mexico kind of thing
VERSE 2:
Gonna get lost
In the red and green sauce
And a lot of guacamole
We'll thank the good Lord
For the drinks that are being poured
Underneath this green pine tree
And for the...
PRE-CHORUS:
Stuffed sopapilla
Who wouldn’t wanna eat ya
Well I want to
Don’t mind if I do
Chorus repeat
BRIDGE:
The best smellin' wood in the world is pinon
But that's just my opinion
I'm gonna start an Angel Fire with my circle of enchanted friends
Yeah with all their different shades of skin
Chorus 3:
Light a swisher sweet
Roll up my jeans
And dip one foot in a Cimmaron stream
There's a chipmunk sitting next to me
Just a blowin' off steam
With two full cheeks
And on the way to Taos we’ll overload them speaks
With a little bit a little Michael Martin Murphey
Without a doubt
I’m where I wanna to be
TAG:
And come December I’ll be back here to ski
Doing this New Mexico, doing this New Mexico kind of thing
OUTRO:
Headed for the hills
Time to turn off the cell
Gonna gonna get my fill
No it ain't like nothing else
New Mexico True
It's good for the soul
Me and all my NM crew
Yeah yeah yeah we all know
We'll stop by and see my kin
Up there in Eagle Nest
And with a show of hands
Who wants some Sundance?!
Cause I do!
And hey...
Who wants to stop on the way to Red River to see the dragon
Billy Dawson brings "NASHVILLE TO NEW MEXICO"
