Newsies - Santa Fe Lyrics
JACKSo that's what they call a familyMother, daughter, father, sonGuess that everything you heard about is trueSo you ain't got any familyWell, who said you needed one?Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin' up for you?When I dreamOn my ownI'm alone but I ain't lonelyFor a dreamer night's the only time of dayWhen the city's finally sleepin'All my thoughts begin to strayAnd I'm on the train that's bound for Santa FeAnd I'm freeLike the windLike I'm gonna live foreverIt's a feeling time can never take awayAll I need's a few more dollarsAnd I'm outta here to stayDreams come trueYes, they doIn Santa FeWhere 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 futureEven at seventeenBreakin' your back for someone else's sakeIf the life don't seem to suit yaHow 'bout a change of scene?Far from the lousy headlinesAnd the deadlines in betweenSanta FeAre 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 youngerAnd before my dyin' dayI want spaceNot just airLet 'em laugh in my faceI don't careSave a placeI'll be thereSo that's what they call a familyAin't ya glad you ain't that way?Ain't ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?
