Lyrics from AZLyrics (AZLyrics, 2023)
Window walkin' downtown, feelin' mighty good
And I noticed from the corner how all alone she stood
Underneath the lamplight, an angel in disguise
Lonely little runaway with teardrops in her eyes
Crazy little ragdoll, her hair was wild and tossed
And I put my arm around her 'cause I knew that she was lost
She didn't seem to notice that anyone was near
'Til suddenly she turned to me and whispered in my ear
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I want to go home and help me get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home
Showed me a ticket for a Greyhound bus
Her head was lost in time
She didn't know who or where she was
"And anyone that helps me is a real good friend of mine"
(Real good friend of mine)
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
And help me get home, help me get home
Walked her to the station and kissed away the tears
Knowing I'd remember through all the coming years
Ragdoll on that Greyhound who waved with all her might
Weeped against the window as the bus rolled out of sight
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I want to go home and help me get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home
