For three strange days in New Mexico the cash goes fast
And the time goes slow. I cannot put it all together as of yet.
But there was something I was supposed to do but I don’t remember
I don’t have a clue. I’ve got a list of names of people I’m to see.
The only thing here that I recognize is my funny face and a sunny sky.
People rule around me like there is somewhere else to be

And as often as a Texas execution it comes
Like a sickness that will fry you from inside
Well I’ve had enough of all these things in place set up to keep us
From our lives
So I’ll just lay back and watch the sky
That’s what I’ll do ya’ll go ahead and live the life
That’s what I’ll do

Now I could head back up to Abilene I heard “the women
There they ain’t so mean”
I think I heard that on some A.M. radio show
I can’t remember why I’m even here maybe I’ll recall it
If I have a beer “I’ve been down so goddamn long it looks
Like up to me.”

And as often as another rigged election it comes
Like some silly vows you take to get some play
Well I’m tired of these solutions people have to simply clear them of a crime

Chorus
Solo
You can say a million things to me and nothing that you say will sink in
Because there is nothing making sense to me

So maybe there’s a reason I don’t want to find could be I should
Leave this little life behind
But I don’t know "oh well whatever nevermind”
chorus
