Santa Fe

Santa Fe - Shawn Mullins

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 me where I wanna be

Take me far away Santa Fe Santa Fe

I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear

It'll sound a lot better if you have yourself another beer

One more

So take me away take me away from here

Take me far away Santa Fe Santa Fe Santa Fe

Take me away
