I Lost My Heart To Albuquerque

from For Heidi by Jeff Dillon and The Revival

/

lyrics

I was sitting in an old boxcar watching the world pass by
I thought I caught you staring from the corner of my eye
I turned to look and what I saw was an empty point of view
I turned my eyes back to the tracks and rolling down to you
I jumped the rails in San Jose and dodged the rail-yard fuzz
I stole some beer and whiskey too so I could catch a buzz
I set myself on fire that day staring at the noon day sun
I grabbed my six and strum for you on my way to the A-B-Q

(ALBUQUERQUE) I always knew I'd go one day
(ALBUQUERQUE) I never thought that you would stay
(ALBUQUERQUE) The last damn stop this train rolls through
(ALBUQUERQUE) This town I lost my heart to

My whiskey sinks so deep inside that I can't see the sights
My mind just runs with what to do on this clear desert night
I swapped the rails in Flagstaff town to get a straight shot through
So many things I've thought to say the day that I see you
This Rio Grande is hauling ass across the countryside
I'm kicking back and drinking Jim with the box door thrown wide
The day we met you stole my heart I've never been the same
So here I come on rails of steel on into A-B-Q

(ALBUQUERQUE) I always knew I'd go one day
(ALBUQUERQUE) I never thought that you would stay
(ALBUQUERQUE) The last damn stop this train rolls through
(ALBUQUERQUE) This town I lost my heart to

Sometimes I wait nights
For you to come home
Sometimes I tell lies
For you to come home

(ALBUQUERQUE) I always knew I'd go one day
(ALBUQUERQUE) I never thought that you would stay
(ALBUQUERQUE) The last damn stop this train rolls through
(ALBUQUERQUE) This town that I lost my heart to
