Santa Fe lyrics

PLAY MENKEN ALAN Santa Fe video JACK:
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 you glad nobody`s waiting up for you?

When I dream
On my own
I`m alone but I ain`t lonely
For a dreamer night`s the only time of day
When the city`s finally sleeping
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 never 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

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
Breaking your back for someone else`s sake
If the life don`t seem to suit ya
How about a change of scene?
Far from the lousy headlines
And the deadlines in between

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 getting any younger
And before my dying 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 you glad you ain`t that way?
Ain`t you glad you got a dream called
Santa Fe
