Breather Assignment: Santa Fe by Alen Menkin from the Movie Newsies

So that's what they call a family,
Mother, daughter, father, son,
Guess that everything you heard about is true.

So you aint got any family

Well, who said you needed one?

Aint'cha glad, nobody's waitin' up for you.

When I dream, on my own,

I'm alone but I aint lonely.

For a dreamer nights the only time of day

When the city's finally sleepin'

All my thoughts begin to stray.

And I'm on the train thats bound for Santa Fe.

And I'm free, like the wind,
like I'm gonna live forever.

It's a feelin' time can never take away.

All I needs a few more dollars

and I'm out of here to stay.

Dreams come true, yes they do

in Santa Fe.

Where does it say you've got ta live and Die here

Where does it say a guy can't catch a break

Breakin' your back for someone elses sake.

If the life don't seem to suit ya'

How 'bout a change of scene.

Far from the lousey headlines and the deadlines in between.

Santa Fe, are you there?

Do you swear you won't forget me.

If I found you would you let me come and stay.

I aint gettin' any younger

So before my dyin' day

I want space, not just air

let 'em laugh in my face I don't care

Save a place, I'll be there...

So thats what they call a family

Aint'cha glad you aint that way

Aint'cha glad you got a dream called

Santa Fe.
