Las Cruces

I remember days 
At twenty seven 
Unafraid
Of future questions
Now I've got a drawer 
Of loose directions 
And woman who 
Protects me 

From my hotel
In Las Cruces 
Await the lift of my condition 
South of Truth or Consequences
Zia point me away from Texas 

She is Graham 
When I am Crosby 
With patience 
She makes the harmony 

Before I knew you
What did I know?
And you took a chance on me
Was the year of an election
Disease and deception
But I found the truth
What would I do
Before I knew you?

You be Graham
I will be Crosby
With patience you’ll make the harmony

Let me show you Ruidoso  
Where I saw my friends get married
Bought a skull and bet on horses
In our home together I’ll put it
