New Mexico (Live) Lyrics by Laura Benanti

In Constant Search of the Right Kind of Attention (Live at 54 Below)

2013

Oh, I'm gonna go to New Mexico
And no one will know where I went
And every moment spent
Will be my own
Oh, I'm gonna buy me a rusted old pickup truck
Weathered and beaten but pretty
Like me
And everyone in the town will see that I'm fine
Fat huckleberries and sunflower seeds
And corn by the roadside I will sell
And it will all be just as well
Because I am grown
Oh, I'm gonna go to New Mexico
And no one will know where I am
My secret evil plan
For being alone
Yellow tomatoes and sugar snap peas
And more by the roadside I'll sell
And it will all be just as well
Because I am home
Oh, I'm gonna go to New Mexico
And no one will know where I flew
'Cause a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
(spoken)
Thank you! I wanna thank this band for every single song. Todd Almond, Ann Klein, Brian Ellingsen, and Rich Mercurio. And I wanna thank them specifically for that song, because it's made my little girl dreams come true.
