Michael Martin Murphey - Santa Fe Cantina lyrics

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.
