Santa Fe - Alan Menken, Jeremy Jordan

JACK:

So that’s what they call a family

Mother, daughter, father, son

Guess that everything you heard about is true

So you ain’t got any family

Well who said you needed one?

Ain’t you glad nobody’s waiting up for you?

When I dream

On my own

I’m alone but I ain’t lonely

For a dreamer night’s the only time of day

When the city’s finally sleeping

All my thoughts begin to stray

And I’m on the train

That’s bound for Santa Fe

And I’m free

Like the wind

Like I’m gonna live forever

It’s a feeling time can never take away!

All I need’s a few more dollars

And I’m outta here to stay

Dreams come true

Yes they do

In Santa Fe

Where does it say you gotta live and die here?

Where does it say a guy can’t catch a break?

Why should you only take what you’re given

Why should you spend your whole life livin'

Trapped where there ain’t no future

Even at seventeen

Breaking your back for someone else’s sake

If the life don’t seem to suit ya

How about a change of scene?

Far from the lousy headlines

And the deadlines in between

Santa Fe

Are you there?

Do you swear you won’t forget me?

If I found you would you let me

Come and stay?

I ain’t getting any younger

And before my dying day

I want space

Not just air

Let 'em laugh in my face

I don’t care

Save a place

I’ll be there

So that’s what they call a family

Ain’t you glad you ain’t that way?

Ain’t you glad you got a dream called

Santa Fe
