"Albuquerque" lyrics

Albuquerque, casino lights
The smarter man might just drive right by
But I put my savings on a roulette game
Or any old red number, I got twenty-eight
That's a risk you run when you go all in
But I'm not going to New Mexico again

'Cause there's a mountain there that I'll never climb
It put a cavern in my heart, spreading deep and wide
Yeah, I took the gamble, laid it all there at her feet
There goes Albuquerque, taking everything from me

And now every mirror is just a west bound train
With a one-way ticket to things I know I'll never change
And it breaks my spirit how it burns my bones
Seeing that between us, all I'll ever know

'Cause there's a mountain there that I'll never climb
It put a cavern in my heart, spreading deep and wide
Yeah, I took the gamble, laid it all there at her feet
There goes Albuquerque, taking everything from me

Oh, what I'd give to hold her
But all my pride and closure are piled up
With the one thing that I can't get over

'Cause there's a mountain there that I'll never climb
It put a cavern in my heart, spreading deep and wide
Yeah, I took the gamble, laid it all there at her feet
There goes Albuquerque, taking everything from me
Taking everything from me
