Alan Menken - Santa Fe Lyrics
JACK:So 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 you glad nobody's waiting 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 sleepingAll my thoughts begin to strayAnd I'm on the trainThat's bound for Santa FeAnd I'm freeLike the windLike I'm gonna live foreverIt's a feeling time can never take away!All 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 givenWhy should you spend your whole life livin'Trapped where there ain't no futureEven at seventeenBreaking your back for someone else's sakeIf the life don't seem to suit yaHow about 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 meCome and stay?I ain't getting any youngerAnd before my dying 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 you glad you ain't that way?Ain't you glad you got a dream calledSanta Fe
