Santa Fe Lyrics

    JACK
    So that's what they call a family
    Mother, daughter, father, son
    Guess that everything you heard about is true
    So you ain't got any family
    Well, who said you needed one?
    Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin' up for you?

    When I dream
    On my own
    I'm alone but I ain't lonely
    For a dreamer night's the only time of day
    When the city's finally sleepin'
    All my thoughts begin to stray
    And I'm on the train that's bound for Santa Fe
    And I'm free
    Like the wind
    Like I'm gonna live forever
    It's a feeling time can never take away
    All I need's a few more dollars
    And I'm outta here to stay
    Dreams come true
    Yes, they do
    In Santa Fe

    Where does it say you gotta live and die here?
    Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?
    Why should you only take what you're given?
    Why should you spend your whole life livin'
    Trapped where there ain't no future
    Even at seventeen
    Breakin' your back for someone else's sake
    If the life don't seem to suit ya
    How 'bout a change of scene?
    Far from the lousy headlines
    And the deadlines in between

    Santa Fe
    Are you there?
    Do you swear you won't forget me?
    If I found you would you let me come and stay?
    I ain't gettin' any younger
    And before my dyin' day
    I want space
    Not just air
    Let 'em laugh in my face
    I don't care
    Save a place
    I'll be there

    So that's what they call a family
    Ain't ya glad you ain't that way?
    Ain't ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?
