Santa Fe

A Houston girl with roots so deep
I'd never leave my home
But still I venture out to see this world
Travels sometimes take me far
From starlit Texas skies
I bow my head and I think of you
And I see Santa Fe in your eyes

I'd longed to see the desert storms
That rock the mountain tops
I was listening to the mariachis play
You walked up to my soul that night
Framed by pink cloud skies
I raised my head and I found the truth
When I saw Santa Fe in your eyes

Santa Fe won't you take me away
I'm getting lost way out here
Santa Fe won't you show me the way
The only thing warm is my beer

You held my hand and you whispered low
And we danced until the dawn
You promised things a lover longs to hear
But my heart said to move along
Against your mournful cries
Now I bow my head and I think of you
And I see Santa Fe in your eyes

Santa Fe won't you take me away
I'm getting lost way out here
Santa Fe won't you show me the way
The only thing warm is my beer

Mornin' breaks in this eastern town
And a chill just fills my bones
How could I have ever left your side
Why does the blue of this distant sea
Seem cold with each wave's raise
It can't compete with the golden brown
When I see Santa Fe in your eyes

I can feel your warm hands touch my skin
Like a western sunrise
And I can smell the sage in the pristine wind
If I could only see your eyes

Santa Fe won't you take me away
I'm getting lost way out here
Santa Fe won't you show me the way
The only thing warm is my beer
The only thing warm is my beer
