Santa Fe Lyrics

J. Bon Jovi 

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 

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 

I swear I'm gonna live forever 
Tell my maker he can wait 
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven 
Heading back to Santa Fe 
It's judgment day in Santa Fe 

Once I was promised absolution 
There's only one solution for my sins 
You gotta face your ghosts and know 
With no illusions 
That only one of you is going home again 

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 

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 

Solo 

So I save a prayer 
For when I need it most 
To the Father, Son 
And the Holy Ghost 
And sign it from a sinner 
With no name 

When I meet my maker 
When I close the book 
On the hearts I broke 
And the lives I took 
Will he walk away 
'Cause my soul's 
Too late to save 

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
