Max Gomez New Mexico Lyrics

In a barren but beautiful desert
My pony up and died
I found my way to an old highway
Put my thumb out for a ride

A team of crazed coyotes
Stopped and offered me a ride
They said what do you know of New Mexico
And I looked to them and cried

It ain't new and it ain't Mexico
Some things you ought to know
Like one and one is two
Skies where the four winds blow
Corazón contento
Some things you ought to know
Like New Mexico
Well the trunk was filled with chile
Headed west on I-40
Destination headquarters
One man trader Joe
The deal was on the table
For an insufficient sum
When the buyer had the nerve to ask
Where the hell's this chile from
It ain't new and it ain't Mexico
Some things you ought to know
Like one and one is two
Skies where the four winds blow
Corazón contento
Some things you ought to know
Like New Mexico

At the Kansas City airport
They asked me for ID
So I showed my driver's license
To the gal at security
She said although you speak good english
I cannot let you through
Because for international travelers
Only passports will do
It ain't new and it ain't Mexico
Some things you ought to know
Like one and one is two
Skies where the four winds blow
Corazón contento
Some things you ought to know
Like New Mexico
Yeah, no passports to show
In New Mexico….USA
