New Mexico

this city’s different that’s for sure DA
i’m just not sure if there’s a cure AG
mañanas not tomorrow it’s just not today DA
stuff will get done if you stay and pray AG
been here 25 years Am
oh your a local Em
no, 400 years Am
and you can be boastful Em
New Mexico it’s not new DA
and it’s not Mexico GA
but it will do AD
Green or red or Christmas D
what’s your chile choice A
Low riders are a piece of art G
not just our shiny toys DA
Columbus Day a joke Am
in the second oldest city Em
Saint Augustine a few years older Am
but only by committee Em
The natives were here way BC DA
with trails no charters G
for the trading and for barter DA
New Mexico it’s not new DA
and it’s not Mexico GA
but it will do AD
we are not a Third World country Am
but we’re pushing two and a half DG
our infrastructure is not the best DA
but it mostly makes us laugh AG
New Mexico it’s not new DA
and it’s not Mexico GA
but it will do AD
