Neil Young - “Albuquerque” from Tonight’s the Night
Good song for today’s shit weather. Best lyrics.
Well, they say
that Santa Fe
Is less than ninety miles away,
And I got time to roll a number
and rent a car.
Oh, Albuquerque.
I’ve been flyin’
down the road,
And I’ve been starvin’ to be alone,
And independent from the scene
that I’ve known.
Albuquerque.
So I’ll stop when I can,
Find some fried eggs
and country ham.
I’ll find somewhere where
they don’t care who I am.
Oh, Albuquerque,
Albuquerque.
(Included with the vinyl release of Tonight’s the Night is a cryptic message written by Young: “I’m sorry. You don’t know these people. This means nothing to you.”)
