point me in the direction of albuquerque

window walkin' downtown

feelin' mighty good

and i noticed from the corner how all alone she stood

underneath the lamplight

an angel in disguise

lonely little runaway with teardrops in her eyes

crazy little ragdoll

her hair was wild and tossed

and i put my arm around her 'cause i knew that she was lost

she didn't seem to notice that anyone was near

'til suddenly she turned to me and whispered in my ear

point me in the direction of albuquerque

i want to go home and help me get home

point me in the direction of albuquerque

i need to get home

need to get home

showed me a ticket for a greyhound bus

her head was lost in time

she didn't know who or where she was

and anyone that helps me is a real good friend of mine"
