Lyrics
SAN ANTONIO
Written and Performed by Matthew Casey 2003
KATIE?S SUCH A LONG LONG WAY FROM HOME
SHE KNEW THAT SHE WOULD MAKE IT ON HERE OWN
NOW SHE?S IN NEW YORK ON THE WEST SIDE
WAS A WILD RIDE
LATELY SHE?S BEEN HAVING THIS STRANGE DREAM
SHE CANT BE SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS
EACH DAY SHE WAKES TO SING THIS SONG
GUESS ITS BEEN TOO LONG, SHE SINGS
chorus
SAN ANTONIO I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES
FEEL YOUR SUNNY DAYS
SAN ANTONIO NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
YOU?LL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
JIMMY?S IN THE NAVY HIS WHOLE LIFE
ITS BEEN TEN MONTHS SINCE HE KISSED HIS WIFE
HE?S SLEEPING ON A SHIP OUT ON THE SEA
HELPS US STAY FREE
NOW JIMMY KNOWS JUST WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO
THE PHONE CALLS BARELY HELP HIM THROUGH
HE HEAR?S THAT VOICE CALLING HIM HOME
BACK TO SAN ANTONE HE SINGS
chorus
SAN ANTONIO I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES
FEEL YOUR SUNNY DAYS
SAN ANTONIO NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
YOU?LL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
Break
SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO
THE RIVERWALK THE ALAMO
HOME SWEET HOME I NEED TO GO
SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO
chorus
SAN ANTONIO I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES
FEEL YOUR SUNNY DAYS
SAN ANTONIO NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
YOU?LL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
