Winter was gray in my small town sky   When Sarah came back with a smile   Something's just brought here around this whole world   Back to our hometown, main street mile      She's come from the land of the desert sun   To warm up this small town street   A shinning medallion on sun-tanned skin   The silver still holds the heat.      Chorus      Its closer to home than my own home town   Never so far away   So come with me, she said to me   I'm going to Santa Fe      She's got that golden light in her hair   >From shining into the sun   She smiled so kind with her ocean eyes   And told me I'm not her only one      But she said I know that look in your eyes my friend   You need some highway behind you   So follow me down and I'll lead you astray   Maybe you just might find you're      Chorus      Well this town just grew up around me   I never meant to stay   I tried to make my break before   But I never got away      When I'm walking with Sarah   I feel I'm set free   Like she could walk past all the guards and say   This man's with me      Out past the street lights, into the darkness   After the last stop gas   Now all of those things that kept me here   Sarah can take me past      Chorus      Closer to home that my own home town   never so far away   Just holding out a highway sign   that just says Santa Fe   I'm finally on my way.
