lyrics

Mac Brazzell found a spaceship on his place today
Found a rocket ship crashed into the rocks today yeah
Silver shone the metal skin
The debris blew in the wind
Of a sight so alien
The little people all were gray
A secret team swept them away
But he knew they were from outer space
Cuz he’d never seen anyone look that way
In New Mexico, Crashing in New Mexico

So if the ET are so damn smart
Why does their fine ride crash and fly apart (I don’t know, I don’t know)
It sure was strange out there on the range,
A silver spaceship where the sheep wouldn’t graze.
What if they’re not in it for us?
Who we gonna turn to and who we gonna trust
Who's going to save our ass this time?
Better stand up, better look inside
In New Mexico, Crashing In New Mexico,
Crashing in New Mexico, Away we go…

The Air Force said it was a weather balloon
And anyone who thinks different is a crazy loon (I don’t know, I don’t know)
If blips are seen on the radar screen
And nobody legit even says a thing (I don’t know, I don’t know)
What if they’re not in it for us?
Who we gonna turn to and who we gonna trust
Wonder if God’s looking out for us
Or if human nature’s just gone bust
In New Mexico, Crashing In New Mexico,
Crashing in New Mexico, Away we go…

If they take our women, mutilate our cows
And come and go from here without a sound (I don’t know, I don’t know)
Are we all going crazy or just getting real?
And what causes those circles in my neighbor’s field (I don’t know, I don’t know)
If someone knows they sure won't tell
And some folks think it's just as well
Others just got something to sell
Are we all just in a spell
In New Mexico, Crashing in New Mexico
Crashing in New Mexico, Away we go
