SANTA FE

<>

They say that no man is an island

And good things come to those who wait

But the things I hear are there just to remind me

Every dog will have his day


The spirits, they intoxicate me

I watched them infiltrate my soul

They try to say it's too late for me

Tell my guns I'm coming home


I swear I'm gonna live forever

Tell my maker he can wait

I'm riding somewhere south of heaven

Heading back to Santa Fe

It's judgment day in Santa Fe


Once I was promised absolution

There's only one solution for my sins

You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions

That only one of you is going home again


And I blame this world for making a good man evil

It's this world that can drive a good man mad

And it's this world that turns a killer into a hero

Well I blame this world for making a good man bad


Now I ain't getting into heaven if the devil has his way

I swear I'm gonna live forever

Heading back to Santa Fe

Got debts to pay in Santa Fe

It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Lord have mercy


[Guitar solo]

So I save a prayer when I need it most

To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

And sign it from a sinner with no name

When I meet my maker

Will he close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took ?

Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save ?


Now I ain't getting into heaven

If the devil has his way

I swear I'm gonna live forever

Heading back to Santa Fe

Got debts to pay in Santa Fe

It's judgment day in Santa Fe
