Alan Menken lyrics : "Santa Fe"

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 you glad nobody's waiting 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 sleeping
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
Breaking your back for someone else's sake
If the life don't seem to suit ya

How about 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 getting any younger
And before my dying 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 you glad you ain't that way?
Ain't you glad you got a dream called

Santa Fe
