I had a friend, he lives
down in old Alberquerque
we used to watch the sun, coming up together
but he was hungry then
and he got restless, I
I heard he took a wife--
I think her name is Heather

CHORUS:
Oh, all've sudden I'm driving in the rain
with the Santa Fe horizon
calling out my name
should have done it sooner
but now I know it's time
cause we said alot things, baby
but we never said goodbye.

We were a team
we were the best of friends
we had a world where no one else could find us
the summer passed
September came too soon
and suddenly, that world was all behind us

CHORUS 2:
Driving through the desert
with nothing on my mind
than the thought of catching up
with a ghost I left behind
don't know what I'll do,
but I know I've got to try
cause we said alot of things, baby--
but we never said goodbye.

I drove 1000 miles
chasing a memory
but all the pieces of what used to be have scattered
and all the little things
that used to mean so much
I look around me now, and see
that they don't matter

CHORUS 3:
Oh, all've sudden I'm driving home again
cause sometimes goodbye
is better left unsaid
the Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why
I said alot of things to you...
but I never said goodbye.

(AD LIB till fade out)
