Joe Purdy Sante Fe Lyrics

Wish I could give ya
The things that you wanted
Wish that you knew
The things that you wanted
And wish I could give ya
The things that you wish
That you knew that you wanted my love

I have been blinded by years of good fortune
Memories and good friends I rode down the north wind
Sure I've been hurt and I have hurt others
But I've also been lucky and in love
There ain't no excuse for the time that you've taken
But I guess you don't need no excuse
Cause you're a big girl now and I ain't your keeper
But I still do wish that you'd show

And if you make it to Sante Fe
And if you make it to Sante Fe
And if you make it to Sante Fe
I will go with you wherever you want to

I've see nthe fog as it rolls down the mountain
Crest of the Rio Grand
And I notice things that you don't want to tell me
The things you think I can't understand

But I've seen it all and I've stood where you landed
Cut fresh as a doe foot loose and a pracin
With the world at my feet
A ladys a callin
Before all the weather and years

But you're a big girl no
And I ain't your momma
But I still do wish that you show

And if you make it to Sante Fe
And if you make it to Sante Fe And if you make it to Sante Fe
And I will go with you wherever you want to
But what could I do?
But to send you off smiling
Wishing you well
Hoping you're finding
The meaning you're after
The life that you're craving
While keeping your back to the cold

And I look for you now
In the face of the red canyons
The warmth of a stranger
The eyes of a mannequin
The windmills in Texas
A wolf by the water
The moon on the mountain at night

Because at the end of the world
At the end of the evening
It's me that you're missing
And you that I'm thinking
About all the nights
We rolled down the highway
Watching for morning's shore

And I know that you love me
Cause you can't help it
And I know cause I feel the same
Ain't no excuse for the time that you've taken
But I guess you don't need no excuse
Cause you're a big girl now
And I ain't your keeper
But sometimes I wish that you'd show

And if you make it to Sante Fe
If you make it to Sante Fe
If you make it to Sante Fe
If you make to Sante Fe
Oh if you make it to Sante Fe
And if you make it to Sante Fe
Oh if you make it to Sante Fe
