    Jim Glaser The Lights Of Albuquerque Lyrics
    Desert moon, lights the freeway up tonight,
    Chevy van, how I wish that you could fly.
    Gotta get to her and tell her I was wrong,
    But I'm still such a long, long way from home,
    And the road goes on, on and on, on and on.
    But the Lights of Albuquerque, will soon be shining bright,
    Like a diamond in the desert, like a beacon in the night.
    And I wonder if she'll take me back, will she understand?
    Will the Lights of Albuquerque, shine for me again?
    Thinking back, to the foolish things I said.
    Looking out, at the white lines up ahead.
    Gonna tell her I can't make it on my own.
    Oh, this empty feeling won't leave me alone.
    It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
    But the Lights of Albuquerque, will soon be shining bright,
    Like a diamond in the desert, like a beacon in the night.
    And I wonder if she'll take me back, will she understand?
    Will the Lights of Albuquerque, shine for me again?

    His voice! At his age, he sings like a angel. We are blessed to have this on You-Tube. This Albuquerque girl hopes he meets me on the other side. I could listen to him forever. Rest in peace Mr. Glaser.

    I lived in Albuquerque in 1984 with my 16 month old son , after my husband died in a motorcycle accident. We lived there for eight years and I finally finished my bachelor’s degree - it took me 20 years to get it. I loved Albuquerque; the people, the cultures, the marvelous food and the astoundingly beautiful scenery. I heard Jim Glaser’s song on the radio and instantly fell under its spell. This was before YT, so it took years before I heard it again. Bless YT for existing to let us enjoy his wonderful song.

      I didn't either until I was flying into Albuquerque for the Balloon Fest. The lady sitting next to me on the plane told me about an old country song about Albuquerque as we were landing. It wasn't until I got back home that I remembered to "Google" it. WOW. I have listened to his song when he was much younger singing at the Grand Ole Opry. He OWNS this beautiful song! I love how Marty and the drummer smile and shake their heads in respect for him and his gift. Rest easy Jim Glaser, you still are touching people's hearts. Amen.

    I can’t find the online article again which stated that songs about Albuquerque are over 100 since 1706. The one I loved the most is The Lights of Albuquerque by Jim Glaser even though it almost makes me cry because the music sounds so melancholy. Last year another Albuquerque song popped up by Shawn Brooks, a Texan who changed his name again. But I like it. I moved here 7 years ago and I love those mountains, sunsets and hot air balloons. And the view at night of Albuquerque from a mountain top does resemble a brilliant diamond.

I went 2 play it a while back & wanted 2 transfer it 2 a CD 2 play in the car & the tape broke. I tried finding it around town without success. I still want it 4 my car.
