Santa Fe Lyrics - Singles - Newsies

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 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 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 

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 outta here to stay 

Dreams comes 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 your given 

Why should you spend your whole life livin' 

Trapped where there ain't no future even at 17 

Breaking 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 getting any younger 

and before my dying day 

I want space, not just air 

Let them laugh in my face 

I don't care 

Save my place 

I'll be there 

So that's what they call a family 

Ain't ya glad you ain't that way 

Ain't ya glad you've got a dream called 

Santa Fe
