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
