Gone To Santa Fe Lyrics - David Wilcox

Winter was gray in my small town sky 

When Sarah came back with a smile 

Some things just brought her around this whole world 

Back to our hometown main street mile 

She's come from the land of the desert sun 

To warm up this small town street 

A shining medallion on sun tanned skin 

The silver still holds the heat 

It's closer to home than my own home town 

Never so far away 

So come with me she said to me 

I'm gone to Santa Fe 

She's got that golden light in her hair 

From shining into the sun 

She smiled so kind with her ocean eyes 

And told me, I'm not her only one 

But she said, I know that look in your eyes my friend 

You need some highway behind you 

So follow me down and I'll lead you astray 

Maybe you just might find you're 

Closer to home than your own home town 

Never so far away 

So come with me she said to me 

I'm gone to Santa Fe 

Well, this town just grew up around me 

I never meant to stay 

I tried to make my break before 

But I, I never got away 

When I'm walking with Sarah 

I feel I'm set free 

Like she could walk past all the guards 

And say, this man's with me 

Out past the street lights, into the darkness 

After the last stop gas 

Now all of those things that kept me here 

Sarah can take me past 

It's closer to home than my own home town 

Never so far away 

Come with me she said to me 

I'm gone to Santa Fe 

It's closer to home than my own home town 

Never so far away 

Just holding out a highway sign 

Which just says Santa Fe 

Finally on my way
