"We was beat when we was born"
So that's what they call a family. Mother, daughter, father son. I guess everything you heard about is true. So you ain't got any family, well who says you needed one? Ain't you glad nobodies waiting up for you?
When I dream on my own, I'm alone but I ain't lonely. For a dreamer nights the only time o day. When the cities finally sleeping and 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 outa 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 liven trapped where there ain't no future, even at 17. Breakin your back for someone else's sake. If the life don't seem to suit you, 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 getting any younger, and until my dying day, I want space not just air. Let em laugh in my face I don't care. Save a place. I'll be there.
Santa Fe, my old friend. I can't spend my whole life hidin, you're the only light that's guiding me today. Will you keep a candle burning, will you help me find my way, you're my chance, to break free and who knows when my next one will be, Santa Fe, wait for me.
So you ain't got any family, ain't' you glad you ain't that way. Ain't you glad you got a dream called Santa Fe.
