Drive-By Truckers - Santa Fe lyrics

You said that you'd be waiting for
Me here in Santa Fe
With hotel rooms and TV's booming
Loud every night and day
And all I have to do is
Just be careful what I say
And do and what I put us through

Colorado, lines were down
Des Moine's an underwater town
Don't know what it is
I thought I'd find out here
It's moving forward as it must
95 and blowing dust
Sitting here and missing us
It couldn't be more clear

You said that you'd be waiting for
Me here in Santa Fe
With dreams and postponements along the way
Conditioned by the outstretched miles


And high desert air
Thinking I might find you there
Holding you in my dreams
Ricocheting back and forth between
My two extremes
Of light and dark and all the in betweens
All of us know too well
Exactly what that means

Will you still be here waiting for
Me here in Santa Fe?
With arms and obligations and
Tears along the way and all I have to do
Is revel in here everyday
Then do it again tomorrow
Do it again tomorrow
Do it again tomorrow in some other place
