Santa Fe

She was sitting in the corner of a cafe

In the burning heart of downtown Santa Fe

Picking on a Gibson and singing, "Baby Can't You See"

She was buzzing like a battlefield tracer

She was grinding like 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, Santa Fe, Santa Fe

He was living with some hippies in a school bus

They had puttered 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 my little lady it will break me

Another 24 hours here, I think I just might explode

I been doing everything I know and try to stay free

Working for the man and just ain't no kind of plan for me

So take me away, take where I wanna be

Take me far away Santa Fe, Santa Fe

That's right

I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear

It will sound a lot better if you have yourself another beer

So take me away, take me away from here

Take me far away Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Santa Fe

Take me away
