Inna From Mexico

Inna came from Mexico
She tried to find a job
She figured shed work on rich girl's nails
That couldnt be so hardInnas got a twelve year old
And she dies inside
She cant clear the picture from her eyes
Of leaving that little girl behindBut shes gonna find a daddy here
And her little girls gonna come here too
But just like every other dream so far
She knows that one probably wont come trueAnd you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah, thats right, she keeps her smile when shes about to cry
And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
And Innas friends back home, think shes got it madeSo every week she sends some money home
She says things here going well
She doesnt let the tears touch the page
And stain the letter all to hellI met Inna at a grocery store
We were waiting in line
I asked her who the Barbie doll was for
Youd thought that I had asked her who diedSo I started to apologize
Man, I was just trying to kill some time
But I still cant get Inna from my mind
But I will never look behindCause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah, thats right, she keeps her smile when shes about to cry
And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
And Innas friend's back home, think shes got it madeYes, I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Innas friend's back home, they think shes got it made
