Inna From Mexico

Inna came from Mexico

She tried to find a job

She figured she?d work on rich girl's nails

That couldn?t be so hard

Inna?s got a twelve year old

And she dies inside

She can?t clear the picture from her eyes

Of leaving that little girl behind

But she?s gonna find a daddy here

And her little girl?s gonna come here too

But just like every other dream so far

She knows that one probably won?t come true

And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes

Yeah, that?s right, she keeps her smile when she?s about to cry

And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith

And Inna?s friends back home, think she?s got it made

So every week she sends some money home

She says things here going well

She doesn?t let the tears touch the page

And stain the letter all to hell

I met Inna at a grocery store

We were waiting in line

I asked her who the Barbie doll was for

You?d thought that I had asked her who died

So I started to apologize

Man, I was just trying to kill some time

But I still can?t get Inna from my mind

But I will never look behind

?Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes

Yeah, that?s right, she keeps her smile when she?s about to cry

And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith

And Inna?s friend's back home, think she?s got it made

Yes, I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith

Inna?s friend's back home, they think she?s got it made
