Santa Fe Songtext

von Shawn Mullins

She was sittin' in the corner of a cafe
In the burnin' heart of downtown Santa Fe
Pickin' on a Gibson and singin' "Baby, Can't You See"
She was buzzin' like a battlefield tracer
She was grindin' like the gears on a Pacer
I said "Sister Bloody Mary, won't you do a number for me?"
She said I'll sing you any song that you wannna hear
Just pull up a barstool and buy me another beer
Take me away, take me away from here
Take me far away, Santa Fe

He was livin' with some hippies in a school bus
They had puddered here from Boulder, covered in dust
He said I know a little lady livin' 30 miles up the road
I got a feelin' that my ride ain't gonna take me
If I don't see my little lady it will break me
Another 24 hours here I think I just might explode
I've been doing everything I know to try to stay free
Workin' for the man just ain't no kind of plan for me
So take me away, take me where I wanna be
Take me far away, Santa Fe, Santa Fe

(lead break)

Oh, oh, oh, I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear
It'll sound a lot better if you have yourself another beer
Take me away, take me away from here
Take me far away, Santa Fe
Santa Fe
Santa Fe
Take me away
