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 ya glad nobody's waitin' 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 sleepin'

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

Breakin' your back for someone else's sake

If the life don't seem to suit ya

How 'bout 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 gettin' any younger

And before my dyin' 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 ya glad you ain't that way?

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