Lyrics

Cowgirls don’t ask why small towns dry up dreams. She met a guy in Littlefield, made her feel real. Spurred horse’s gonna run till the reins come free. She may not be back again, when the trail ends. Sister, jumping off the fence, sister, jumping off the fence got to choose where to go, thinking ‘bout New Mexico. Holding hands to school, praying on our knees, she and I learned how to dance where we learned to drink. Sister, jumping off the fence, sister, jumping off the fence got to choose where to go, thinking ‘bout New Mexico. Gave her all I saved, told her, "Just be brave. There’s a clinic blooming in the desert sun on bedrock. They will know you there. Dusty wind blows west. Falling leaves make me cry. Should’ve said I wished her well, wouldn’t tell a soul. Sister, jumping off the fence, sister, jumping off the fence, got to choose where to go, thinking ‘bout New Mexico.
