The Boxmasters - New Mexico lyrics

I can't go back to New Mexico There's ghosts at the border shaking chains The skulls scream for pardon row by row And I remember their names I need to get back to New Mexico Most of my conscience lingers there It calls out to me, it won't let me go And I can't bear The souls that I left in New Mexico And the holes that they left in my heart The souls that I left in New Mexico And the reasons we drifted apart It's hard to be the law in New Mexico It's hard to be the man anywhere The pain that I caused in New Mexico Gave me a share Of the souls that I left in New Mexico And the land that holds blood till this day Oh, lord, let me die in New Mexico And share that old ground where they lay And share that old ground where they lay
