New Mexico Talkbox Love

Lyrics

[Intro]
Met you out in New Mexico
Red dust
Green smoke
You already know (yeah)
Sun low on that two-lane road
You laughed once
I was gone (for sure)

[Verse 1]
You had sand on your sneakers
Hot wind in your hair
You said
“You ain’t from around here
Huh?”
I said
“I am now
If you care”
Cheap motel pool
Little slow dance
Your lips tasted like lime
You drew hearts in the fog on the window
Said
“Boy
Don’t waste my time”

[Chorus]
[Talkbox lead
Vocal under]
New Mexico love
Got me stuck on you
From the desert to the moon
I’m glued
You’re my brown-eyed
Bad-timed
Perfect view
(So nasty, so sweet, that truth)
New Mexico love
When you pull me close
Got my hands on your waist
Overdose
If I ever get lost
I know
I find my way back to you

[Verse 2]
You said
“Drive ‘til the stars hit”
We rode out past the last gas sign
You put your feet on the dashboard
Took my hat
Said
“Boy
You’re mine”
We got loud in the dark of the canyon
Echo carried your name
You scratched lines down my shoulder
Now my skin don’t feel the same (uh)

[Chorus]
[Talkbox lead thicker
Ad-libs]
New Mexico love
Got me stuck on you
From the desert to the moon
I’m glued
You’re my brown-eyed
Bad-timed
Perfect view
(So nasty, so sweet, that truth, yeah)
New Mexico love
When you pull me close
Got my hands on your waist
Overdose
If I ever get lost
I know
I find my way back to you (back to you)

[Bridge]
You said
“Don’t make pretty promises”
So I just said your name slow
Tasted every single syllable
Let my actions talk for my soul
If this ends
I’ll still remember
That motel key
That cheap red glow
But I pray when I’m old and trembling
I still wake up in New Mexico (hey)

[Chorus]
[Talkbox & vocal call-and-response]
New Mexico love
Got me stuck on you
(You got me, you got me)
From the desert to the moon
I’m glued
(Can’t move, can’t move)
You’re my brown-eyed
Bad-timed
Perfect view
(So nasty, so sweet, that truth)
New Mexico love
When you pull me close
(Give me that, give me that)
Got my hands on your waist
Overdose
If I ever get lost
I know
I find my way back to you (to you, to you)
