Ian Tyson Road To Las Cruces Lyrics:
[Key B: capo – 2nd fret]

[A D A D]
Does the wind still blow in New Mexico,
[A E]
The silver candelabras yet shine?
[D A]
Is Katherine still the queen of El Paso,
[C#m E]
Never to be yours, never to be mine,
[D E]
Out of reach like the pale moon that shines
[F#m E]
On the road to Las Cruces?

On a high plateau out of Anton Chico
I see the dust of a herd moving through.
The dream and the light softly fading.
My horses will not stand. They wish to go with them,
Riding for Alex Carone
On the road to Las Vegas

At the line of desire, seven strands of barbed wire
To hold back the onrushing tide.
Many dreams have been brought to the border.
Down in the canyon, down in the culverts,
They pray for safe passage tonight
On the trail to Albuquerque.

I crossed over Raton and stood there alone,
Staring into the heart of the night
Across the dark plain to El Paso
Where Katherine sleeps, and Katherine dreams,
Out of reach like the pale moon that shines
On the road to Las Cruces.
