lyrics

Five hundred dollars
A coyote named Salvador
Got me into California twenty years ago

I left my wife and family
At my mother’s farm in Mexico
Headed for El Norte
With my dreams and hopes

I was nineteen, I had a plan
Feed my wife and family
Come home and buy some land

Seems so long ago
As the morning sun cuts through the haze
I prune the roses shake my head
Try to count the days…

Angelina, Angelina what have I done
Angelina, you know you’re still the one
For all the money I’ve sent home
I’d buy back those years
If you look in my eyes…Angelina
You’ll see those El Norte Tears

Got my own pick up truck, got my own room
I’ve got every letter that you ever wrote
With the scent of perfume

Didn’t make it home for Christmas
Work’s slow that time of year
Damn this homesickness
Your whisper in my ear

All this time we’ve been far apart
Has not been good for each of our hearts

My father has died, my children have grown
This dream has faded
I want to come home….

Too many days since I held you in my arms
Too many nights looking at stars
If I could awake and look in your eyes
All of these years would simply fly by
