Intro:
Gm7 C/G (x2)
Verse:
Folks, we finally got our
headline.
"Newsies Crushed as Bulls
Attack"
Crutchie's calling me,
Dumb crip's just too damn slow.
Guys are fightin', bleedin'
fallin'
thanks to good ole' Captain
Jack.
Captain Jack just wants to close
his eyes and go.
Chorus:
Let me go.
Far away.
Somewhere they won't ever find
me, and tomorrow won't remind me
of today.
And the city's finally sleepin'.
And the moon looks old and grey.
I get on a train thats bound for
Santa Fe.
And I'm gone.
And I'm done.
No more running. No more lying.
No more fat old man denying me
my pay.
Just a moon so big and yellow,
it turns night right into day.
Dreams come true. Yeah they do.
In Santa Fe.
Bridge:
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 living trapped where there
ain't no future.
Even at 17. Breaking your back
for someone else's sake.
If the life don't seem to suit
you, how about a change of
scene?
Far from the lousy headlines and
the deadlines in between.
Chorus:
Santa Fe, my old friend.
I can't spend my whole life
dreaming.
Though I know thats all I seem
inclined to do.
I ain't getting any younger.
And I wanna start brand new.
I need space. And fresh air.
Let 'em laugh in my face. I
don't care.
Save my place. I'll be there.
Ending:
Just be real is all I'm asking.
Not some painting in my head.
Cause I'm dead if I can't count
on you today.
I got nothing if I ain't got
Santa Fe.
