Inna From Mexico Lyrics

Inna came from Mexico
She tried to find a job
Figured she�d work on rich girls� 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 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
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Inna�s friends back home think she�s got it made

Every week she sends some money home
Says things here are 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

I started to apologize
I was just trying to kill some time
I still can�t keep 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
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Inna�s friends back home � they think she�s got it made
