out in new mexico

these walls around me and the days are long

i fill my lungs with a widow's song

i'm looking for a reason

feel the spirit rise

i see my life before me when i close my eyes

i picture a road out in new mexico

red earth and mountains and sky

i picture my soul out in new mexico

with all that space rolling by

sometimes i feel

in a world between

everything i touch and everything i dream

sometimes i long for the rose to bleed

for the spark to light in the depths of me

i picture a road out in new mexico

red earth and mountains and sky

i picture my soul out in new mexico

with all that space rolling by

i'm so scared of what i'll find

if i let it go

if i look inside

i'm so scared of what i feel

if i let it go

if i make it real

i picture a road out in new mexico

red earth and mountains and sky

i picture my soul out in new mexico

with all that space rolling by

with all that earth rolling by

with all these dreams rolling by

leaving this life behind
