Out There in Santa Fe
They say folks is dying to get here
Me, I'm dyin' to get away
To a little town out west that's spankin' new
And while I ain't never been there
I can see it clear as day
If you want, I'll bet that you could see it, too
And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever
Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I'd give, what I'd dare
Just to live one day out there
Where doеs it say you gotta live and die herе?
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?
If I were in their skin
I'd treasure every instant
Out there
Swappin' tales around the fire
Give me one day out there
'Cept for Sundays when you lie around all day
Soon your friends are more like family
And they's begging you to stay
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I don't care
Save my place
I'll be there
I will spend one day
Out there
