New Love In Santa Fe
We met in the airport in Denver
Just a beer and a martini dry
She said she was leavin' some cowboy
And she had not a tear in her eye
Her story was old as the mountains
Loved a man that's the wanderin' kind
She ordered another martini
As she started to leave him behind
She belonged in the arms
Of a man with some charms
A teacher of things of romance
She'd shed this cowpoke
And hope he went broke
And look for a man who could dance
She said she was western bound from here
Try her luck with the men in L.A.
I said I'm headed southward from here
I'm singin' my songs in Santa Fe
She belonged in the arms
Of a man with some charms
A teacher of things of romance
She'd shed this cowpoke
And hope he went broke
And look for a man who could dance
Now I ain't braggin'but I've some charms
And I always write songs of romance
Just change your ticket to Santa Fe
I'll be happy to teach you to dance
And that's how it happened long ago
We took our new love to Santa Fe
She never looked back and learned to dance
And she says that she likes it this way
She belonged in the arms
Of a man with some charms
A teacher of things of romance
She shed her cowpoke
And hoped he went broke
And found her a man who could dance
