South Of Santa Fe - Lyrics - Greatest Hits Collection 2 - Brooks &Amp; Dunn

Title: South Of Santa Fe
Album: Greatest Hits Collection 2
Artist: Brooks &Amp; Dunn
Composer(s): Larry Boone, Paul Nelson, Kix Brooks

Lyric:
Where the rain don't fall and the grass don't grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
The shades were pulled and the door was locked
Something made me knock

Time stood still when she opened the door
I didn't know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowing wild as the tumbleweed

Somewhere north of heaven where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, South of Santa Fe

Bad news tends to travel fast
And I was running from my past
I left her when the morning broke
Truth is I never let her go
And I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be

Somewhere north of heaven where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, South of Santa Fe
North of heaven, South of Santa Fe

Santa Fé - Lyrics - Blaze Of Glory - Bon Jovi

Title: Santa Fé
Album: Blaze Of Glory
Artist: Bon Jovi
Composer(s): Jon Bon Jovi

Lyric:
They say that no man is an island
Good things come to those who wait
The things are here or 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
(Oh, Lord have mercy)

So I save a prayer
When I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And I'll 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, it'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
I got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Midnight Train - Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Title: Midnight Train
Artist: Charlie Daniels Band
Composer(s): John Louis Gavin, Charles Fred Hayward, William Joel Digregorio, John Thomas Jr. Crain, Charlie Daniels

Lyric:
Midnight train, roll on
Midnight train, roll on

Clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowin'
Take this stranger on to Santa Fe
It seems like romance and danger
Follow this here tall dark stranger all along the way

Well, the train was rumblin' through the night heading south to Santa Fe
And in a fancy car with a private bar and a personal valet
There was a bunch of cold eyed men sittin' at a poker table
Bettin' hot stakes all around

Ole Louisiana Lou had a knife in his shoe was dealin?
A hand of cards and ole Stagger Lee Crocket had a gun in his pocket
Was sweatin' bettin' hard and over in the corner this Mexican guy
With two gold teeth and a patch on his eye took a long hard look around

And then the door flew open, the stranger walked in
Said, "Don?t y'all get excited, I know this here?s a private game
And I know I wasn?t invited but I got a roll that?d choke a mule
I?m just about a big enough fool to lay it all right down

And everybody nodded as the stranger took his seat
He knew this bunch of cutthroat?s would be mighty hard to beat
As the stranger knew then the toughest two by far were where he sat
Was a pot belly fellow from south Alabama and a dude in a black felt hat

Midnight train, roll on
Midnight train, roll on

Well, clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowin'
Take this stranger on to Santa Fe
It seems like romance and danger
Follow this here tall dark stranger all along the way

Well, the stranger sat down he looked around at all them evil faces
And the pot-belly fellow drew a pair of queens but the stranger
He drew aces and he kept on raising and pushin' his luck
Kept on winning like a run away truck he was giving them a beating

And the stakes got higher than a Chinese kite, the stranger
Kept getting hot till every cent everybody had was lying out in the pot
And then the stranger threw down a royal flush, somebody said
?Hey man, that?s enough friend I think you?ve been cheatin'"

And then the stranger picked the money up and said, "Boys I better run?
And then the pot-bellied fella pulled a razor out, somebody pulled a gun
They said, ?You may think you?re a sly old fox, you?re gonna leave here
In a long pine box if you don?t leave that money alone"

Just about then the lights went out and they all started fussin'
And the lights came on, the stranger was gone, they all started cussin'
And they searched that train from front to rear
That stranger he done disappeared and all their money was gone

When the train pulled in the station, with the whistle blowin' loud
A telegram was waitin' from the stranger for the crowd
Said ?Thank you for the money boys but don?t feel too outdone
'Cause it takes a dog to know a dog I?m a howlin' son of a gun?

Midnight train, roll on
(Roll on, roll on)
Midnight train, roll on
(Roll on, roll on)

Well, clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowin'
Take this stranger on to Santa Fe
It seems like romance and danger
Follow this here tall dark stranger all along the way
Oh, he's long gone

She Sure Did Like To Run - Lyrics - Diamond Rio

Title: She Sure Did Like To Run
Artist: Diamond Rio
Composer(s): Bobby Tomberlin, Walt Aldridge

Lyric:
She made her exit a month ago tomorrow
Called up her mama and asked if she could borrow
Enough money to leave for awhile
Mama said you always were impulsive child

She bought a ticket at the Greyhound station
Said she needed a permanent vacation
Ran out of money by Santa Fe
Hitchhiked the rest of the way

And she blew into town with a runaway heart
Like a Santa Ana blowin' down Ocean Boulevard
Everybody said she was a restless one
Never knew where she was going but she sure did like to run

She took a job with a bucket and a wet mop
Saved her pay checks and bought an old rag top
She'd crank it up and let her hair down
They'd hear her coming for miles around

And she blew into town with a runaway heart
Like a Santa Ana blowin' down Ocean Boulevard
Everybody said she was a restless one
Never knew where she was going but she sure did like to run

Last time I saw her she was letting the top down
She wouldn't tell me but I think she was south bound
She waved goodbye and looked back and smiled
And took off after the call of the wild

And she blew out of town with a runaway heart
Like a Santa Ana blowin' down Ocean Boulevard
Everybody said she was a restless woman
Never knew where she was going

She never knew where she was going
Never knew where she was going
But she sure did like to run
