| My mamma wrote a letter in she said: | |
| "Son, you beter hurry, get home quick. | |
| Maria's tired of waitin' and you know she started datin', | |
| then she's got her kick" | |
| Here I am in jail with no-one to pull my bail | |
| and I just wanna go home. | |
| And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone | |
| I'm serving time Taos, New Mexico. | |
| And I just wanna go home | |
| I'm serving time in Taos, New Mexico, | |
| never felt so alone. | |
| I just had to buy her things like pretty clothes and diamond rings | |
| and so much more. | |
| The thing that I just couldn't see is that she only wanted me | |
| raggin' in poor. | |
| Here I am in jail with no-one to pull my bail | |
| and I just wanna go home. | |
| And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone | |
| I'm serving time Taos, New Mexico. | |
| And I just wanna go home | |
| I'm serving time in Taos, New Mexico, | |
| never felt so alone. | |
| Those awful nights are long and cold, | |
| what if she needs someone to hold while I'm away? | |
| I can see her by the fire eatin' cheese and getting higher | |
| with Don José. | |
| Here I am in jail with no-one to pull my bail | |
| and I just wanna go home. | |
| And when I do I'll never leave Maria alone | |
| I'm serving time Taos, New Mexico. | |
| And I just wanna go home | |
| I'm serving time in Taos, New Mexico, | |
| never felt so alone. |
