New Mexico Cooking

[Verse]
Out in the land where the red rocks sing
The chili’s hot it’s a fiery thing
Green or red pick your fate
Or mix them both together on your plate
[Prechorus]
It’s not Tex-Mex
No no it’s not the same
Not Colorado either with a borrowed name
[Chorus]
New Mexico flavor burning hot and bright
Hatch chili growing in the desert sunlight
Christmas on a plate feels just right just right
There’s nothing like it on a hot dry desert night
[Verse 2]
Stacked enchiladas with layers so full of cheese
Tamales you can smell through the streets
Sopa pias floating light as air
Honey drips down your shirt but you don't care
[Bridge]
Spicy heat and hot desert skies
Flavor so bold it stings your eyes
Every bite a story untold
A tale of sun and souls of gold
[Chorus]
New Mexico flavor burning hot and bright
Hatch chili growing in the desert sunlight
Christmas on a plate feels just right just right
There’s nothing like it on a hot dry desert night
