Santa Fe
Jack:
So that's what they call a family
mother, father, daughter, son
Guess everything you've heard about is true
so you ain't got any family
but who says you needed one
ain't ya glad
nobody's waitin' up for you

When I dream on my own
Im alone but I ain't lonely
for a dreamer nights the only time of day
when the city's finally sleeping
and my thoughts begin to stray
and I"m on a tran that's bound for Santa Fe

And I'm free
like the wind
like i'm gonna live forever
it's a feeling that no one can 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 you call a family
Ain't you glad you ain't that way?
Ain't you glad, you've got a dream called
Santa Fe
