## Verse 1 There's a city in New Mexico that made me Before I knew that I was being made Where the mountains go pink in the late afternoon And the light does something specific before it fades I used to think I'd leave and never look back I used to think the leaving was the point But everywhere I go I find it with me In the way I hold myself at every joint ## Pre-Chorus You can take the girl out of Albuquerque But Albuquerque doesn't leave the girl It's in everything I reach for Every corner of my world ## Chorus Albuquerque In every room I've ever stood in Albuquerque In everything I've ever sung Albuquerque Where my mother's hands first held me Albuquerque Where everything I am begun Albuquerque ## Verse 2 There's a classroom in a school I still dream about Where I sat beside someone who changed my life Where a melody came across the space between us And nothing after that was ever quite as quiet There's a closet with old blankets on the walls Where I first heard what I sounded like for real There's a spot out past the Sandias in the late light Where my mother took me and I learned how to feel ## Pre-Chorus You can take the girl out of Albuquerque But Albuquerque doesn't leave the girl It's in everything I reach for Every corner of my world ## Chorus Albuquerque In every room I've ever stood in Albuquerque In everything I've ever sung Albuquerque Where my mother's hands first held me Albuquerque Where everything I am begun Albuquerque ## Bridge I've stood in rooms that cost more than my whole street I've been in cities that don't sleep or slow But nothing hits like driving home on Central And nothing hits like people who have watched you grow Nothing hits like Albuquerque ## Final Chorus Albuquerque In every room I'll ever stand in Albuquerque In every song I'll ever sing Albuquerque Where my mother's hands first held me Albuquerque You're in everything Albuquerque You're everything ## Outro Albuquerque Still home Always home Albuquerque --- ## Suno Style Prompt
