[Verse 1]
I sweat in suede beneath the shade
Of the spire in the old town square
She said she'd meet me there
In this hired suit and cowboy boots
A rose between a toothy grin
Patience is wearing thin
[Chorus]
Oh, Santa Fe
It's such a long way
Such a long way from my home
Oh, Santa Fe
I guess I'll have to stay
I'll make New Mexico my home
Oh, it's a long way
And it gets further by the day
Oh, Santa Fe
Oh, Santa Fe
Oh, Santa Fe
[Verse 2]
Next thing I know, she's in Mexico
Hopped the border in my SUV
She took all my money
My return's ripped up and burned
She had to see that I would always stay
Looks like I will anyway
[Chorus]
Oh, Santa Fe
It's such a long way
Such a long way from my home
Oh, Santa Fe
I guess I'll have to stay
I'll make New Mexico my home
Oh, it's a long way
And it gets further by the day
Oh, Santa Fe
Oh, Santa Fe
Oh, Santa Fe
[Chorus]
Oh, Santa Fe
It's such a long way
Such a long way from my home
Oh, Santa Fe
I guess I'll have to stay
I'll make New Mexico my home
Oh, it's a long way
And it gets further by the day
Oh, Santa Fe
[Outro]
Oh, Santa Fe
