Santa Fe - Jon Bon Jovi

Santa Fe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I swear, I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of Heaven
I'm heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe

[Verse 3]
Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghost, and know with no illusion
That only one of you is going home again

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Oh Lord, have mercy

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
So I save the prayer when I need it most
To the father, the son and the holy ghost
And I'll sign it from "a sinner with no name"
When I meet my maker, will he close the book
On the hearts I broke and the lives I took?
Will he walk away, cause my soul's to late to save?

[Chorus]
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 judgment day in Santa Fe
