Narrative:

We were taxiing out for departure to runway 21 at abq. Our taxi clearance was 'taxi to runway 21 via taxiway a, taxiway D, short of runway 26' (which was exactly what we had done 2 legs earlier). I read back the clearance to tower/ground (combined frequency). I repeated it to the captain and said 'just like the last time.' upon entering taxiway D, it appeared to me that we were approaching runway 26 and may not be stopping. I asked the captain if this was runway 26 and he replied 'no' and as we were taxiing across it said that it was runway 8.
