Santa Fe Drifter - Windows Media format

She lost her faith in men and never found it again
After a heart breaker stole it away
He changed her whole life in an instant and then
Left her cryin', alone, and betrayed

(Chorus)
Rugged and strong with a smile in his eyes
The Santa Fe drifter took the girl by surprise
He loved her and left her, never knew what he lost
If only he'd know what his leavin' had cost

He rolled into town and flipped her world upside down
Turned on his charm and lit a spark
He captured her heart and he tore it apart
And slipped off late one night in the dark

(Chorus)
Rugged and strong with a smile in his eyes
The Santa Fe drifter took the girl by surprise
He loved her and left her, never knew what he lost
If only he'd know what his leavin' had cost

musical interlude

(Bridge)
Now it's been years since he disappeared
But sometimes she still cries
It hurts down deep inside of me
To see Mama's lonely eyes

Mama raised me alone and we did fine on our own
We had some hard times but we made it through
She still thinks of him with a hole in her soul
And she's sad that my dad never knew

(chorus x 2 in immediate succession)

(Chorus)
Rugged and strong with a smile in his eyes
The Santa Fe drifter took the girl by surprise
He loved her and left her, never knew what he lost
If only he'd know what his leavin' had cost

My daddy was
Rugged and strong with a smile in his eyes
He came into town and took my mama by surprise
He loved her and left her, never knew what he lost
The Santa Fe drifter doesn't know what it cost
