You sent me out west to the desert
Where I didnât know a soul
You said maybe by the Rio Grande
I could find my own
Now I know that itâs not becoming
To let the whole word see you pine
But itâs hard not to let it show
When youâve left the world behind in
Albuquerque
Where the air is pure and light
Itâs easy to breathe, easy to see
Why I left to make things right
Albuquerque
After all this time alone
Iâll get up off my knees, back on my feet
And learn to live on my own
I keep thinking of your sage advice
And it all rings true
I had a lot of hopes and plans
But they all fell through
Now Iâve done my share of running
But I know that I canât sit still
And let my lack of wisdom
Waste my own free will
Albuquerque
Where the air is pure and light
Itâs easy to breathe, easy to see
Why I left to make it right
Albuquerque
After all this time alone
Iâll get up off my knees, back on my feet
And learn to live on my own
I thought that Iâd be lonely
But I was just alone
And now I know the answer
Is waiting back at home
Iâm leaving
Albuquerque
Where the air is pure and light
Itâs easy to breathe, easy to see
Why I left to make it right
Albuquerque
After all this time alone
Iâll get up off my knees, back on my feet
And learn to live on my own
