Santa Fe
Came out running, swinging hard
Made myself welcome at the local bar
And marched my way on down to Texas high
My ears were ringing my own name
Was something I was proud to say
And fireworks would decorate the sky

(Chorus)
I've been to Santa Fe
Where the skies are blue and open
It was in my early days
I was young and I was hoping
For lesser things than I am now
I feel the weight of time on my shoulders
I'm getting older

And every night when I'd lay down
My heart would be beating to the distant sound
Of those who sent their worries down the tracks

People came and people went
They wore their clothes to state their names
They carry who they are upon their backs
(Chorus)
I've been to Santa Fe
Where the skies are blue and open
It was in my early days
I was young and I was hoping
For lesser things than I am now
I feel the weight of time on my shoulders
I'm getting older

The world expands my focus shrinks
I'm sitting on the bench that you built last week
I will not let these hours pass me by

The days are changing something new
The color of my hair is too
And I believe I'll ask you to be mine

(Chorus)
I've been to Santa Fe
Where the skies are blue and open
It was in my early days
I was young and I was hoping
For lesser things than I am now
I feel the weight of time on my shoulders
I'm getting older
