Sandia Sunsets

Verse 1

Pulled off the highway in the morning sun

Worn-out pickup, got my journey begun

Dust on my boots, but a smile on my face

Headed where the mesas meet open space

Saw a roadside vendor selling turquoise stones

Stories in wrinkles and a voice like home

Passed the Rio Grande, and my troubles went free

Knew my heart was headed where it’s meant to be

Chorus

Albuquerque, you feel like home again

Red dust blowing, and the wild warm wind

I see the Sandias, sunlight rolling in

Albuquerque, you always pull me in

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, back again

Oh oh, my old friend

Verse 2

Coffee on Central, the old town wakes

Mariachi colors on the bustling breaks

Cowboy boots tapping on the tile so worn

Chili on my breath and my heart reborn

Pre-Chorus

Dancing in the plaza under lantern light

Old tunes and laughter, everything feels right

Chorus

Albuquerque, you feel like home again

Red dust blowing, and the wild warm wind

I see the Sandias, sunlight rolling in

Albuquerque, you always pull me in

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, back again

Oh oh, my old friend

Bridge

Green chile sunrise, red dusk on the run

Dreams in my pocket, yeah, I’m chasing the sun

Old friends waving from a porch down the street

That kind of welcome, you just can't beat

Chorus

Albuquerque, you feel like home again

Red dust blowing, and the wild warm wind

I see the Sandias, sunlight rolling in

Albuquerque, you always pull me in

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, back again

Oh oh, my old friend

Oh oh, back again

Oh oh, never ends
