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 sleeping, all my thoughts begin to stray.
And I'm on a 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 dolla's, 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 now future?
Even at seventeen breaking your back for someone else's sake.
If the life don't seem ta suit ya,
how bout some 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 ya would you let me come and stay?
I ain't getting 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 you glad you ain't that way?
Ain't you glad, you got a dream called Santa Fe?
