The God I Met in Albuquerque

verse 1

Take me to the high desert fresh mountain air
Red dirt on my hiking boots wind in my hair
In the car put on the miles down 25
Deep canyons hidden rivers and trees of pine

pre-chorus

I lived under the crushing weight of duty
He met me there and opened my heart to beauty

chorus

Ooo ooo
I came like a lawyer and I left like a mystic

verse 2

The God I met in Albuquerque cared for me
He was bigger and more loving than I thought he'd be
In the foothills of the Sandias I saw him there
Among the new and ancient relics I said a prayer

pre-chorus

I lived under the crushing weight of duty
He met me there and opened my heart to beauty

chorus

Ooo ooo
I came like a lawyer and I left like a mystic
Ooo ooo
Golden hour in the land of enchantment

bridge

Some things you won't understand but who said you had to?
Some things you won't understand but who said you had to?

chorus

Ooo ooo
I came like a lawyer and I left like a mystic
Ooo ooo
Golden hour in the land of enchantment
If I had known better I would've missed it
