New Mexico Lyrics

first time that i saw her she was on her honeymoon she liked my band so i tried to sell her a CD and she bought one for her husband dan and dan and her seemed happy and i was glad of their fifteen bucks they took their CD i took their money and wished them luck they seemed to barely know each other but i guess they knew enough to walk through life as strangers strangers in love the next time i saw dan was in marrietta i was trying to get to my show dan drove by, saw i was lost stopped and lent me his cellular phone i was late for the gig but nobody minded dan was there and so was she everyone seemed happy and i sold a lot of CDs we barely knew each other but i thought i knew enough they were just strangers in love there are things that i don't tell you things that you should know i'm gonna tell you everything i promise when i get back from georgia and you return from new mexico the last time that saw her was in atlanta she came alone she said "you won't remember me but my my husband dan lent you his cell phone." I did not rember i said i did but i lied i said "well, how's dan?" she said "he committed suicide three days after your marrietta show a few months after our honeymoon." i said "you both seemed so happy" she said "i thought so too 'til i heard the shot from the living room. will you play a song for me and dan" i said "ma'am that's about all that i can do" she said "play the one one about the hurricane" so i did for her as i will for you we barely know each other we know enough to walk through life as strangers sometimes in love there are things that i don't tell you things that you should know i'm gonna tell you everything i promise when i get back from georgia and you return from new mexico
