She was sittin' in the corner of a cafe In the burnin' heart of downtown Sante Fe Pickin' on a Gibson And singin' "baby, can't you see" She was buzzin' like a battlefield tracer She was grindin' 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, Sante Fe He was livin' with some hippies in a school bus They had puddered here from Boulder, covered in dust He said I know a little lady livin' 30 miles up the road I got a feelin' that my ride ain't gonna take me If I don't see that little lady it will break me Another 24 hours here I think i just might explode I've been doin' everything I know to try to stay free Workin' for the man just ain't no kind of plan for me So take me away, take me where i wanna be Take me far away, Sante Fe Sante Fe I'll sing you any song that you wanna hear It'll sound a lot better if you have yourself another beer Take me away, take me away from here Take me far away, Santa Fe Santa Fe Take me away
