Letters to Santa Fe

Sittin' at my desk in the city lights' glow Another night where the hours go slow Stack of papers, walls of gray But my heart's out West, callin' Santa Fe I'm sendin' letters to Santa Fe Words I can't find in the nine-to-five day Dreamin' of sunsets on an open plain Where I can breathe, where I can stay Oh, letters to Santa Fe There's somethin' 'bout freedom in that desert wind Where time stands still and troubles get thin I write my heart out, a line at a time For the life I left and the peace I can't find I'm sendin' letters to Santa Fe Words I can't find in the nine-to-five day Dreamin' of sunsets on an open plain Where I can breathe, where I can stay Oh, letters to Santa Fe Out there's a place where my soul feels whole Not chained to a clock, just the sky and the road I write down the dreams that I hide away Hoping they find their way to Santa Fe The boardrooms and deadlines, they're not who I am I'm a dust trail rider, an old-school man So I close my eyes and I drift away To a star-lit night in Santa Fe I'm sendin' letters to Santa Fe Words I can't find in the nine-to-five day Dreamin' of sunsets on an open plain Where I can breathe, where I can stay Oh, letters to Santa Fe One day soon, I'll pack up and go Follow those letters and the life I know But till that day, I'll sit here and pray Pourin' my heart out to Santa Fe
