New Mexico Songtext
von The Boxmasters

I can′t go back to New Mexico
There's ghosts at the border shaking chains
The skulls scream for pardon row by row
And I remember their names

I need to get back to New Mexico
Most of my conscience lingers there
It calls out to me it won′t let me go
And I can't bear


The souls that I left in New Mexico
And the holes that they left in my heart
The souls that I left in New Mexico
And the reasons we drifted apart

It's hard to be the law in New Mexico
It′s hard to be a man anywhere
The pain that I caused in New Mexico
Gave me a share

Of the souls that I left in New Mexico
And the land that holds blood to this day
Oh lord let me die in New Mexico
And share that old ground where they lay
