Santa Fe

(albüm: Beneath The Velvet Sun - 2000)

She was sitting in the corner of a cafe
In the burning heart of downtown Sante Fe
Picking on a Gibson
and singing "baby, can't you see"

She was buzzing like a battlefield tracer
She was grinding the gears on a pacer
I said, "Sister Bloody Mary,
Won't you do a little number for me?"

She said I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear
Just pull up a barstool and buy me another beer
Take me away, take me away from here
Take me far away, Sante Fe

He was living with some hippies in a school bus
They had puddered here from Boulder, covered in dust
He said I know a little lady living 30 miles up the road

I got a feeling that my ride ain't gonna take me
If I don't see that 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
Working 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, Sante Fe

Sante Fe

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
Take me away
