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
when i need it most
to the father, son
and the holy ghost
and i'll sign it from a sinner
with no name
When i meet my maker
will he close the book
on the hearts i broke
and the lives i took
will he walk away
'cause my soul's
it'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
