Jefferson Starship

Santy Anno

In the future, the word 'ships' will mean spaceships, except for a brief moment at the beginning of history when humans sailed the oceans of earth on ships of wood and steel.

From Boston town we're bound away

Heave away Santy Anno

Around Cape Horn to 'Frisco bay

And we're bound for Californ-i-o

Heave her up and away we'll go

Heave away Santy Anno

Heave her up and away we'll go

And we're bound for Californ-i-o

Back in the days of '49

Heave away Santy Anno

Those were the days of the good old times

And we're bound for Californ-i-o

Heave her up and away we'll go

Heave away Santy Anno

Heave her up and away we'll go

To the coast of Californ-i-o

Heave her up and into the sky

Fly away Santy Anno

Fire her up and away we'll fly

And we're bound for the stars

Hey...

Falling in love at the speed of light

Skies of fire

Can you imagine a voice of night

And we're bound for the sky

Ride, ride in the spirit of the night

Ride for Andromeda

Home on the edge of a wave of light

Pathways of fire, love on the wire

I'll give you the keys to the kingdom of fire

And we're bound for Californ-i-o

And we were all young together

Came through the wars together

Through all kinds of weather

So heave her up and away we'll go

Heave away Santy Anno

Heave her up and away we'll go

And we're gone for Californ-i-o
