Albuquerque Lyrics

It's been a long time since I've been to Albuquerque

It's calling me back home, and I know I cannot wait

Those desert stars that I once called my nightlight

Are shining bright to help me find my way

It's been a long time since I've been to Albuquerque

I have to admit that I hope things haven't changed

Sandia Peak reflecting coral sunset

Is there no matter what's been rearranged

Oh I'm coming home, Albuquerque

Rest my head against a cottonwood tree

I'll find a small adobe in the North Valley

Guess it's long past time, Albuquerque

It's been a long time since I've been to Albuquerque

It's the kind of place that stays inside your veins

And I'll just drive until I see the Rio Grande

And breathe the scent of sage and summer rain

Oh I'm coming home, Albuquerque

Rest my head against a cottonwood tree

I'll find a small adobe in the North Valley

Yes it's long past time, Albuquerque

I chased a dream so far away

I had to learn those lessons I'd never learned if I'd have stayed

And through all these years searching for where I belong

My heart has known all along

I'm coming home, Albuquerque

Rest my head against a cottonwood tree

I'll find a small adobe in the North Valley

Yes it's long past time, Albuquerque

I'll find a small adobe in the North Valley

Yes it's long past time, Albuquerque
