South Of Santa Fe

Brooks & Dunn


Where the rain dont fall and the grass dont 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 didnt 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 angels 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 angels face 
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe 
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
