Almost forgot one of my favorites. "Que Bonito es Santa Fe" by Juan Gabriel and Rocio Durcal. It also mentions many other places in New Mexico. Taos, Albuquerque, Chimayo, Espanola, Madrid, Galisteo, and more. Sing along!
Edit: oops, I just reviewed this thread and saw this song was posted already. Oh well, this has the lyrics karaoke style so I'll leave it.
The Albuquerque-based band Richmond unveils the official music video for their song "Feels Like Home (New Mexico True)."
Richmond is Nate Boitano and Heath Warren. The video depicts the summer-long New Mexico adventures of the musical pair and their friends. It shows them exploring many of the state's treasures, and includes scenes from places and adventures they would like to experience in the future. And it's all set to a catchy song the duo wrote about the land they love. "Feels Like Home (New Mexico True)" has served as the catchy background tune for numerous TV and radio ads all across the state. The New Mexico Tourism Department first used the song in its own ads, and several communities have since followed suit.
Nate and Heath first gained a measure of fame as members of the popular Albuquerque band Asper Kourt. They have been friends, neighbors and musical partners since their childhood.
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
'Way out in New Mexico long long ago
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four.
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
In old Silver City he went to the bad
'Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man.
There's Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
Songs about Billy, their boy bandit king
'Ere his young manhood has reached his sad end
With a notch an his pistol for twenty one men!
Was on a sad night when poor Billy died
He said to his friend, "I'm not satisfied
There's twenty one men I have put bullets through
Sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty two!"
I'll sing you how Billy the Kid met his fate
The bright moon was shinin', the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
The young outlaw's life is now come to an end.
There's many a man with a face fine and fair
Who start out in life with a chance to be square
Just like poor Billy they wander astray
They'll lose their lives in the very same way!
Here's a different Lights of Albuquerque song, by Billy Mize:
