Fleeing my country for a better life
I didn't even say Goodbye to my friends
not to my granparents, not to my parents
Rosario Caldera Salazar I said
Rosario Caldera Salazar I said
Alone I cried, there was no witness
only God knew my sorrow and shame
and I didn't leave you one single cent
Alone i left my country and pain
Alone i left my country and pain
These are some words from the victims found
Inside a boxcar in a small Texas town
Locked from the outside in spite of their pleas
Inside was a hundred and thirty degrees
Inside was a hundred and thirty degrees
Landed in Texas with Weslago and Huston
Dallas and San Antonio
and they all fit here, inside of this hart
Even tough her borders are so far apart
Even tough her borders are so far apart
Que bonito los Estatos Unidos
Illinois California and Tenessee
but over on the other side of the border
a piece of the skys still belongs to me
a piece of the skys still belongs to me
These are some words from the victims found
Inside a boxcar in a small Texas town
Locked from the outside in spite of their pleas
Inside was a hundred and thirty degrees
Inside was a hundred and thirty degrees
I didn'even say Goodbye to the boys
or drink to my friends like we used to do
now I am out here, way over the line
Your friend the illegal still misses you
Your friend the illegal still misses you
Goodbye to El Paso, Goodbye to Laredo
when I crossed that big river on the root of a tree
i never knew how soon I'd be yearning
For the land I love and my family
For the land I love and my family
These are some words from the victims found
Inside a boxcar in a small Texas town
Locked from the outside in spite of their pleas
Inside was a hundred and thirty degrees
Inside was a hundred and thirty degrees
I didn't even say Goodbye to my friends
not to my granparents, not to my parents
