a real epic song....excellent dark, gritty lyrics...'I'm riding somewhere south of heaven, heading back to Santa Fe' - love that line. Its probably because of the orchestral arrangement that it hasn't been played live...I don't think you could re-create that massive sound without an orchestra...although I'd like to see them try.... plus Jon never toured Young Guns. I remember visiting Santa Fe and hoping it was gonna be a real dirty cowboy town...but I arrived 100 years too late. It was full of coffee shops and boutiques...not an outlaw or spitoon anywhere....there was a cool bar called The Cowgirl Hall of Fame there though. You could get this beer called Lone Star for 2 dollars a bottle and Smokey and the Bandit was playing on a loop....
