Traffic's light this time of day
But I hang a right, make a loop around,
go out of my way to avoid downtown.
It's been two years after the fact,
you'd think by now I could go back.
But every day I still miss Santa Fe.
The quickest way between here and there
is through the life we used to share.
But I'd rather take this extra time
And drive around what's on my mind
One of these days I might get the nerve
And cross that bridge that never quite burnt,
Even stop and grab a bite to eat
At our favorite place on Paraiso Street
But this route is better in
And what's another hour out of my day
It's through the life we used to share
But I'd rather take this extra time
And drive around what's on my mind
and nothing's really changed
and nothing's really changed
And even though she's right on my way
I still miss Santa Fe you
