song: El Norte
lyrics:
EL NORTE
(J. Souza)
mama used to fill in at the donkey show
she said you're half a jackass
i think you should go
you know the pure will kill you if you stay
send us money from the u.s.a.
take your broken heart to el norte
mad hallucinations on the border run
before a water station in the desert sun
i got run down by a militia guard
the sand drank up his blood i sped away
across the border in his chevrolet
i miss you mama
you told me i should go
written on the inside of your mind's eyelid
all you ever said and all you ever did
la raza nunca llora y yo estoy aquí (the race never cries and i am here)
el amor sobre el dinero para mí (love over money for me)
i miss you mama
you told me i should go
