Original Broadway Cast - Santa Fe
Folks we finally
got our headline
Newsies Crushed
as Bulls Attack
Crutchie's calling me
Dumb crip's just
too damn slow
Guys are fightin'
bleedin' fallin'
thanks to good
ole' Captain Jack
Captain Jack
just wants to close
his eyes and go
Let me go
Far away
Somewhere they won't
ever find me
and tomorrow won't
remind me of today
And the city's finally sleepin'
And the moon looks
old and grey
I get on a train
thats bound for Santa Fe
And I'm gone
And I'm done
No more running
No more lying
No more fat old man
denying me my pay
Just a moon so big and yellow
it turns night right into day
Dreams come true
Yeah they do
In Santa Fe
Where does it say
you gotta live and die here
Where does it say
a guy can't catch a break
Why should you only take
what you're given
Why should you spend
your whole life living trapped
where there ain't no future
Even at 17
Breaking your back
for someone else's sake
If the life don't seem to suit you
how about a change of scene
Far from the lousy headlines
and the deadlines in between
Santa Fe my old friend
I can't spend
my whole life dreaming
Though I know
thats all I seem inclined to do
I ain't getting any younger
And I wanna start brand new
I need space And fresh air
Let 'em laugh in my face
I don't care
Save my place I'll be there
Just be real is all I'm asking
Not some painting in my head
Cause I'm dead
if I can't count on you today
I got nothing if I ain't got
