Shawn Mullins - Santa Fe Lyrics






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

    Was this Live at The Bluebird Cafe with I think Larry John Wilson? I taped that show and I have it on a VHS somewhere I wished I could find in my closet and convert to DVD.

    B.... P....

    brialynn peyton I have it converted. and in iso. format. plus I met Shawn at a concert and I told him I have this and he said wow he doesn't even have a copy of this.

    B.... P....

    +Daniel Faulkner That's cool!!! I have VHS tapes of this and other TV appearances....like way back when Lullaby was huge he was on The Tonight show....later pretty sure appeared on there with The Thorns. and some local events I just need to put them all on one DVD....which I did for a friend but didn't make a copy for myself now I need to dig back through all those tapes and do it again. Shawn is a great guy....we went to school together in the 7th grade and it blew me away the first time I heard him on the radio...I hadn't seen him in 20 yrs but he has a unique voice you never forget and when the dj said Shawn Mullins that confirmed. He remembered me and my best friend when we approached him after one of his shows. We try to say hey after each show....but he is so gracious to all his fans that approach him. Living in.Atlanta there are many opportunities to see him live through out the year.. I have no idea how many times I have seen him live and he just keeps getting better with age!!!

    Hey I met Shawn in Macon Ga. and he could not believe I had this tape. I am so glad I could share it with everyone He is a awesome guy and he's always doing some type of free concert some where.
