Santa Fe

Jack: So that's what they call a family
Mother, daughter, father, son
Guess that everything you heard about was true
So you ain't got any family
Well who says you needed one?
Ain't you glad that no one's waiting 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
And my thoughts begin to stray
And I'm on the train that's bound for Santa Fe
Then 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 out of 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
Breaking 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 before 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
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
