Road to Las Cruces

Lyrics
Does the wind still blow in New Mexico? Silver candelabras yet shine? Is Catherine still the queen of El Paso? Never to be yours, never to be mine Out of reach like the pale moon that shines On the road to Las Cruces On a high plateau out of Anton Chico I see the dust of a herd movin' through The dream and the light softly fading The horses will not stand They wish to go with them Riding for Alex Carone On the road to Las Vegas At the line of desire, seven strands of barbed wire To hold back the onrushing tide Many dreams have been brought to the border Down in the canyons Down in the culverts The pray for safe passage tonight On the trail to Albuquerque I crossed over Ratón Stood there alone Staring in to the heart of the night Across that dark plain to El Paso Where Catherine sleeps, Catherine dreams Out of reach like the pale moon that shines On the road to Las Cruces The road to Las Cruces
