Santa Fe

Jon Bon Jovi


They say that no man is an island

And good things come to those who wait

But the things I head are 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 make he can wait

I'm riding somewhere south of heaven

Heading back to Santa Fe

It's judgement day in Santa Fe


Once I was promised absolution

There's only one solution for my sin

You got to 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 judgement day in Santa Fe


So I save a prayer

For when I need it most

To the Father, Son

And the Holy Ghost

And sign it from a sinner

With no name


When I meet my maker

Will he close the book

On the hears I broke

And the lives I took

Will he walk away

'Cause my soul'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

Got debts to pay in Santa Fe

It's judgement day in Santa Fe
