David Wilcox - Gone to Santa Fe lyrics

rate me

from The Nightshift Watchman

..............................................

Winter was gray in my small town sky

When Sarah came back with a smile

Something's just brought here around this whole world

Back to our hometown, main street mile

She's come from the land of the desert sun

To warm up this small town street

A shinning medallion on sun-tanned skin

The silver still holds the heat.

Chorus

Its closer to home than my own home town

Never so far away

So come with me, she said to me

I'm going to Santa Fe

She's got that golden light in her hair

From shining into the sun

She smiled so kind with her ocean eyes

And told me I'm not her only one

But she said I know that look in your eyes my friend

You need some highway behind you

So follow me down and I'll lead you astray

Maybe you just might find you're

Chorus

Well this town just grew up around me

I never meant to stay

I tried to make my break before

But I never got away

When I'm walking with Sarah

I feel I'm set free

Like she could walk past all the guards and say

This man's with me

Out past the street lights, into the darkness

After the last stop gas

Now all of those things that kept me here

Sarah can take me past

Chorus

Closer to home that my own home town

never so far away

Just holding out a highway sign

that just says Santa Fe

I'm finally on my way.
