"Over New Mexico" lyrics

She was gonna marry him
One week from yesterday
In a garden on the roof of the Renaissance Hotel
But the invitations went unsend
And the dress got packed away
It's been exactly five month since he broke her heart

She was tasting wedding cakes
When her world came crashing in
Cause he looked into her eyes and said of someone else
Every day she woke up felt like dying
Till she found her strength again
She saw clearly through the clouds
Seven miles above the ground

Yeah, she gave up crying over Indiana
Deleted all his pictures over Arkansas
Finally took his ring off
Left it in the 22nd row
And let him go
Somewhere over New Mexico

Got herself a one-way ticket
Non-stop to Santa Fe
Made her mind up he'd be gone by the time the plane touched down
Got a worn-out map and planned her out
Every single step she'd take
Knew exactly how she'd do it
When she stuck right to it

And she gave up crying over Indiana
Deleted all his pictures over Arkansas
Finally took his ring off
Left it in the 22nd row
And let him go
Somewhere over New Mexico

Looking down on the ancient desert
Oh, for the first time she could see
Everything was looking better from her window seat
She was finally free

Yeah, she gave up crying over Indiana
Deleted all his pictures over Arkansas
Finally took his ring off
Left it in the 22nd row
And let him go
Somewhere over New Mexico

Over New Mexico
She let him go
Over New Mexico
