Lyrics

Left my Arizona in the glowing dawn
Two hundred miles in kind of regret driving alone
But if I can make Tucumcari while there's still some daylight
Think I'll be alright

See I've grown tired of the truck stops, and tired of the stares
Tired of looking like a stranger, yeah, and trying not to care
The road is a hard place to be different
An easy place to be too aware

So Tucumcari carry me across New Mexico
Oh, three hundred miles it is a lonely stretch of road
And if I get weary, ferry me along
Tucumcari carry me closer to home

Tired of the asphalt and dividing lines
Tired of being scared, watching my back most of the time
But if I can land somewhere familiar
I can let down my guard for a while

So Tucumcari carry me across New Mexico
Oh, three hundred miles it is a lonely stretch of road
And if I get weary, ferry me along
Tucumcari carry me closer to home

Cause I want to live and breathe in freedom
All of these fears that chase across state lines
Wish I could leave them
Oh until then

Tucumcari carry me across New Mexico
Oh, three hundred miles it is a lonely stretch of road
And if I get weary, ferry me along
Tucumcari carry me closer to home
Tucumcari carry me closer to home
