New Mexico (i/nuː ˈmɛksɨkoʊ/) is a state located in the southwest and western regions of the United States. New Mexico is also usually considered one of the Mountain States. New Mexico is the 5th most extensive, the 36th most populous, and the 6th least densely populated of the 50 United States.
Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, New Mexico has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics, including descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the second-highest percentage of Native Americans, after Alaska, and the fourth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, and Arizona. The tribes in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Hispanic and Native American influences. The flag of New Mexico is represented by the red and gold colors, which represent Spain, as well as the Zia symbol, an ancient Native American symbol for the sun.
"Well I've been thinking about you, and I wish you the best
But every night I go to sleep, I miss you a little less
And still somehow I love you more with each new day
So I thought I'd write you, yeah, I thought I'd send my new address
I've been staring at your picture that's sitting here on my desk
And I thought you might be wondering if I'm ok
I'm alive and I'm living
In a place where the world's crust has shifted
And the stars in the Milky Way, they're giving a party for New Mexico
Yes, I've come to the desert just to find my way to forever
And you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico
So I want to thank the One who leads us, for the way that He has led
For the times we've spent together, and for the times we ain't seen yet
And still somehow this is a path we must both walk alone
And we can't measure the distance, but we'll treasure every step
And I know His love will give us the strength we need to press on
So let's hold onto Him, and He will show us our way home
I'm alive and I'm living
In a place where the world's crust has shifted
And the stars in the Milky Way, they're giving a party for New Mexico
Yes, I've come to the desert just to find my way to forever
And you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico
And the stars can be so bright, the air's so thin
And as I'm looking out tonight, I think about you
Looking for Him
I'm alive and I'm living
In a place where the world's crust has shifted
And the stars in the Milky Way, they're giving a party for New Mexico
Yes, I've come to the desert just to find my way to forever
And you are so welcome here, if you're ever in New Mexico
Standing in a car park somewhere in New Mexico
Put 50 dollars on my phone and try to call you at home
Staring up at a desert sky the stars are bright and the
moons so
high
I’m thinking are we staring at the same stars
Oh tell me are we staring at the same stars
I’ll cut down I’ll cut down a forest for you
To build a boat a boat to cross the see
And through wind and through rain I would sail
To be there to hold you if you’d hold me
But all I really want to know
Is whatever you’re thinking of
And all I really want to hear
Is whatever you’ve got to say
Are we staring at the same stars
Tonight
Walking down on Broadway looking for an open door
For New York City never sleeps and I don’t sleep much
anymore
Looking out over Battery Park the boats go by and I
look to the sky
I’m thinking are we staring at the same stars
Oh tell me are we staring at the same stars
I’ll cut down ill cut down a forest for you
To build a boat a boat to cross the see
And through wind and through rain I would sail
To be there to hold you if you’d hold me
But all I really want to know
Is whatever you’re thinking of
And all I really want to hear
Is whatever you’ve got to say
Are we staring at the same stars
New Mexico down on Central Avenue
Where the old highway goes running through
And all that I can do ,all that I can do
Is think of you
With someone new
I got a job waiting tables in the middle of the night
See the sunrise in my rear view mirror
Wake up to see the last of its light
But I don't mind, no I don't mind
Because that hot desert sun beating down on this side
of town
Well it ain't a pretty sight
A few old men and some young drunks they'll try to make
a pass
But I just have to look them straight in the eye
And I say please don't even ask
'Cause there's no one who, there's no one who
Can make my tired old life
Seem new and unused
I guess there's always gotta be someone out on the
highway
Laying down all that tar
And there's always gotta be someone serving up the
drinks
Down at the bar
But I don't want to be slaving my life away
If it's just to pay for all the things I never knew
quite how to say
Dirty old blackbird landed on my window sill
I didn't want him to leave so I sat there watching him
perfectly still
Until he finally flew, and when he finally flew
I asked him to cut a hole in the morning sky

The season for the rodeo is over
And he's usually back home this time of year
But I haven't heard a word since
He called me from Santa Fe
Something in his voice said you were stealing him away
New Mexico - have i lost him to your sunset
Do your mountains life him higher than my love
New Mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see
If tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me
He said he'd never seen a place more beautiful
And he talked of maybe moving there someday
Where the stars in the sky shine like diamonds every night
I wonder if he sees those stars in someone else's eyes
New Mexico - have i lost him to your sunset
Do your mountains life him higher than my love
New Mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see
