Santa Fe

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 where I wanna be Take me far away Santa Fe, Santa Fe That's right I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear It will sound a lot better if you have yourself another beer So take me away, take me away from here Take me far away Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Take me away
