about

This song was written for a contest the City of Albuquerque tourism department was sponsoring. It didn't win but got Top 10 honors.

lyrics

Albuquerque, views that go for miles; Albuquerque, come and stay for a while

A melting pot of cultures for three hundred years,
It’s a unique town you’re always welcome here
Ride the world’s longest tram; eat blue corn enchiladas hot from the pan
Go to the The Pit, watch a Lobo game; if you miss the sunsets it’ll be a shame
You’re gonna’ be happy that you came, now come on back any time you can
Yeah, come on back again

Albuquerque, views that go for miles; Albuquerque, come and stay for a while

Sunshine most every day, hike or bike get outside and play
Make it to the petroglyphs or the zoo; a botanical garden awaits you too
Go to see the Isotopes swing their bats, or buy yourself a genuine cowboy hat
You’re gonna’ be happy that you came, now come on back any time you can
Yeah, come on back again

Albuquerque, views that go for miles; Albuquerque, come and stay for a while

The Rio Grande River runs through town, cultural happenings do abound
Hot air balloons fill the sky; come October they do fly
Get your kicks on Route 66 ; look for the landmarks in all those flicks
You’re gonna’ be happy that you came, now come on back any time you can
Yeah, come on back again

Come on back, come on back, come on back, come on back,
Yeah, come on back again
