R. Dean Taylor Taos New Mexico Lyrics

My mamma wrote a letter
In it she said : "Son, you better
Hurry, get home quick

Maria's tired of waitin'
And you know she started datin'
Then she got her kick"

Here I am in jail
With no one to pull my bail
And I just wanna go home
And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone

I'm servin' time in Taos, New Mexico
And I just wanna go home
I'm servin' time in Taos, New Mexico
Never felt so alone

I just had to buy her
Things like pretty clothes and diamond rings
And so much more

The thing that I just couldn't see
Is that she only wanted me
Raggin' in poor

Here I am in jail
With no one to pull my bail And I just wanna go home
And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone

I'm servin' time in Taos, New Mexico
And I just wanna go home
I'm servin' time in Taos, New Mexico
Never felt so alone

Those awful nights are long and cold
What if she needs someone to hold
While I'm away

I can see her by the fire
Eatin' cheese and getting higher
With Don José

Here I am in jail
With no one to pull my bail
And I just wanna go home
And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone

I'm servin' time in Taos, New Mexico
And I just wanna go home
I'm servin' time in Taos, New Mexico
Never felt so alone
