South of Santa Fe

Where the rain don't fall and the grass don't grow The older part of New Mexico I drifted into town one day And stumbled in on a lost cafe Shades were pulled and the door was locked Something made me knock Time stood still when she opened the door I didn't know where I was anymore And we were lost in each other's eyes Where loneliness meets paradise Something in my heart broke free Blowing wind as the tumbleweed Somewhere north of heaven Where eagles fear to fly Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate The desert meets the sky Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angel's face North of heaven, south of Santa Fe Bad news tends to travel fast I was running from my past I left her when ther morning broke Truth is I never let her go I'm still running free But in my heart I'll always be Somewhere north of heaven Where eagles fear to fly Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate The desert meets the sky Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angel's face North of heaven, south of Santa Fe North of heaven, south of Santa Fe --- South of Santa Fe - Brooks & Dunn
