Lyrics
Somewhere out in New Mexico
Stopped to change her flat at the Texaco
She was passing through on her way to wherever she's going
She asked me where was all my money spent
Said I lost half to the government
The other half's wherever my honey went
She said It's okay you only need a dime to push my buttons
I gave to her my nickel with the buffalo
Said It's all I got it's not enough I know
She said Just walk me down to the picture show
Kiss me like you mean it once, lemme go and then we
Call it even
Somewhere out in New Mexico
Stopped to change her flat at the Texaco
She was passing through on her way to wherever she's going
She said she won her husband at the Quick Fix Casino
Among the broken dreams on the outskirts of Reno
Gambling everything in a rigged game of Keno
It seems you lose something every time in order to win
She asked if my timing was always this bad
Said Everybody learns to love what they have
She can make it through this whole lifetime of sad
In fact the price seems fair in exchange for this moment
Of happy
Somewhere out in New Mexico
Stopped to change her flat at the Texaco
She was passing through on her way to wherever she's going
Some nights I make it down to the picture show
Lonely with her shadow in the back row
I'd kiss her like I meant it when the credits roll
I know exactly what it means when she speaks of this
Moment of happy
Sometimes I think about looking her up
Heading out to Reno and changing our luck
Then again I think we'd probably both be stuck
'Cause I'd no longer be the one who changed her flat and
Then let her go
Somewhere out in New Mexico
Stopped to change her flat at the Texaco
She was passing through on her way to wherever she's going
Somewhere out in New Mexico
Somewhere out in New Mexico
Somewhere out in New Mexico
