Santa Fe Lyrics - Beneath The Velvet Sun - Shawn Mullins

She was sitting in the corner of a cafe 

In the burning heart of downtown Santa Fe 

Picking on a Gibson and singing, "Baby Can't You See" 

She was buzzing like a battlefield tracer 

She was grinding like the gears on a Pacer 

I said sister Bloody Mary, "Won't you do a little number for me?" 

She said, "I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear 

Just pull up a barstool and buy me another beer" 

Take me away, take me away from here 

Take me far away, Santa Fe, Santa Fe 

He was living with some hippies in a school bus 

They had puttered here from Boulder covered in dust 

He said, "I know a little lady living 30 miles up the road" 

I got a feeling that my ride ain't gonna take me 

If I don't see my little lady it will break me 

Another 24 hours here, I think I just might explode 

I been doing everything I know and try to stay free 

Working for the man and just ain't no kind of plan for me 

So take me away, take where I wanna be 

Take me far away Santa Fe, Santa Fe 

That's right 

I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear 

It will sound a lot better if you have yourself another beer 

So take me away, take me away from here 

Take me far away Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Santa Fe 

Take me away
