[Intro]
[Verses]
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 waitin up for you?
When I dream
On my own
I m alone but I ain t lonely
For a dreamer night s the on-ly time of day
When the city s finally sleepin
All 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 ne-ver 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
(doesn t follow the higher chord variations this part)
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
(Dance Solo)
(E and E7 and G and D in rapid succession)
(x4)
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 they call a family
Ain t ya glad you ain t that way?
Ain t ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?
