I'm a stranger in this city,
and I'm feeling pretty low,
and whenever I get this feeling,
I know where I'm bound to go.
It's down in the shopping mall,
and it looks real nice inside.
When I feel like a lonesome cowboy
it's a pretty good place to hide.
Santa Fe Cantina
I always hate to leave.
Santa Fe Cantina
If even make believe.
When you walk in through the front door
right away you hear a Mexican dance.
They got a fountain and a cactus
and a whole lot of hangin' plants.
They got a waitress named Carmelita
she'll always talk to you awhile.
She makes a pretty mean margarita,
and she serves it with a smile.
Santa Fe Cantina
I always hate to leave.
Santa Fe Cantina
If even make believe.
When it's late and I've had a few
and I'm seeing through a mist.
I remember the Rio Grande and the stars and a kiss.
It's a long way back to New Mexico
but i think I'm gonna be alright.
I've got Mexican beer and a good imagination tonight.
Santa Fe Cantina
I always hate to leave.
Santa Fe Cantina
If even make believe.
Santa Fe Cantina
I always hate to leave.
Santa Fe Cantina
If even make believe.
