JACK<br>

So that's what they call a family<br>

Mother, daughter, father, son<br>

Guess that everything you heard about is true<br>

So you ain't got any family<br>

Well, who said you needed one?<br>

Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin' up for you?<br>

<br>

When I dream<br>

On my own<br>

I'm alone but I ain't lonely<br>

For a dreamer night's the only time of day<br>

When the city's finally sleepin'<br>

All my thoughts begin to stray<br>

And I'm on the train that's bound for Santa Fe<br>

And I'm free<br>

Like the wind<br>

Like I'm gonna live forever<br>

It's a feeling time can never take away<br>

All I need's a few more dollars<br>

And I'm outta here to stay<br>

Dreams come true<br>

Yes, they do<br>

In Santa Fe<br>

<br>

Where does it say you gotta live and die here?<br>

Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?<br>

Why should you only take what you're given?<br>

Why should you spend your whole life livin'<br>

Trapped where there ain't no future<br>

Even at seventeen<br>

Breakin' your back for someone else's sake<br>

If the life don't seem to suit ya<br>

How 'bout a change of scene?<br>

Far from the lousy headlines<br>

And the deadlines in between<br>

<br>

Santa Fe<br>

Are you there?<br>

Do you swear you won't forget me?<br>

If I found you would you let me come and stay?<br>

I ain't gettin' any younger<br>

And before my dyin' day<br>

I want space<br>

Not just air<br>

Let 'em laugh in my face<br>

I don't care<br>

Save a place<br>

I'll be there<br>

<br>

So that's what they call a family<br>

Ain't ya glad you ain't that way?<br>

Ain't ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?<br>

<br>
