They say that no man 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 my guns I'm coming
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 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 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 I swear I'm gonna forever Heading back to Santa Fe Got debts to pay in Santa Fe It's judgment day in Santa Fe Lord have mercy
[Guitar solo]
So I save a prayer when I need it most the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost And 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 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 Got debts to pay in Santa Fe It's judgment day in Santa Fe
