about

This song is about a car ride to junior prom where my date obviously didn't want to be there with me. I had the song "Albuquerque" by Neil Young in my head and I felt like jumping out of the car.

lyrics

Once I heard a record spin
I listened to it back again
The beat was burned into my brain
Until only one thought remained

Can you show me?
Can you show me where to go?
I’m on my way to you, New Mexico

I listened in on troubled times
When not a soul was on my side
Alone in empty motel rooms
I dreamed the dreams that don’t come true

Can you show me?
Can you show me where to go?
I’m on my way to you, New Mexico

The needle scratched the vinyl skin
I played the record back again
Into my brain the beat was burned
A lesson I had yet to learn

Till I was in the backseat of a car
Screaming down the boulevard
Listening one lonely night
It seemed so strange to sound so right

Can you show me?
Can you show me where to go?
I’m on my way to you, New Mexico
When I made it
Through the land of ice and snow
I knew I had reached you, New Mexico
