"Taos, New Mexico" lyrics - R. DEAN TAYLOR
My mamma wrote a letter in she said:
"Son, you beter hurry, get home quick.
Maria's tired of waitin' and you know she started datin',
Then she's got her kick"
Here I am in jail with no-one to pull my bail
And I just wanna go home.
And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone
I'm serving time Taos, New Mexico.
And I just wanna go home
I'm serving time in Taos, New Mexico,
Never felt so alone.
I just had to buy her things like pretty clothes and diamond rings
And so much more.
The thing that I just couldn't see is that she only wanted me
Raggin' in poor.
Here I am in jail with no-one to pull my bail
And I just wanna go home.
And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone
I'm serving time Taos, New Mexico.
And I just wanna go home
I'm serving time in Taos, New Mexico,
Never felt so alone.
Those awful nights are long and cold,
What if she needs someone to hold while I'm away?
I can see her by the fire eatin' cheese and getting higher
With Don Jose.
Here I am in jail with no-one to pull my bail
And I just wanna go home.
And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone
I'm serving time Taos, New Mexico.
And I just wanna go home
I'm serving time in Taos, New Mexico,
Never felt so alone.
