“New Mexico” A Song by Dr. Dharma

Here is a beautiful song written by Dr. Dharma when he first came to New Mexico in 1979:

Going up to Golden on a Sunday afternoon
Outside it’s January and inside it’s June
I’ve just come in from Austin on my way to Santa Fe
My woman’s eating yogurt and I’m drinking Perrier

New Mexico, New Mexico
That’s what I hear wherever I go
New Mexico, New Mexico
Where the sun do shine and the people are fine in New Mexico

Oh I may come from Texas but I love New Mexico
The mountains and the rivers the rain and the snow
The Land of Enchantment where life moves so slow
Oh how I love New Mexico

New Mexico New Mexico
That’s what I hear wherever I go
New Mexico. New Mexico
Where the sun do shine, and the people are fine in New Mexico

So we’re going up to Golden to hear some rock and roll
Onto Espanola the center of the soul
American Sikhs by the dozens in turbans and full beards
Meditating on the Holy Name bringing in good cheer

So come on to New Mexico you’ll have yourself a ball
Whether you’re a cowboy or a yogi won’t matter much at all
The light’s always shining wherever you go
Oh, how you’ll love New Mexico

New Mexico. New Mexico
That’s what I hear wherever I go
New Mexico. New Mexico
Where the sun do shine and the people are fine in New Mexico
