lyrics

everyone told me don't do it!
the city ain't good for your heart
i said "i'll be just fine with some apricot wine
and the chickens and goats in the yard."

but i miss them aspens a'tremblin,
the river so narrow and free.
although reasons i lack,
i just keep comin back
down to dusty old albuquerque

well if i ain't hypervigilant,
thinkin the world wants me dead
then i'm half-cocked and belligerant
or lyin awake in my bed,
just... thinkin...

everyone told me don't do it
the city aint good for your heart
i said i'll be just fine with some apricot wine
and the chickens and goats in the yard

don't ever let me deceive ya
i destroy all that i touch
just so much as a kiss,
you'll wind up in the skids again
short about 6000 bucks
