Inna From Mexico Lyrics

Artist: Jack Ingram
Album: Hey You

Inna came from Mexico
She tried to find a job
Figured sheâ‚¬â„¢d work on rich girlsâ‚¬â„¢ nails
That couldnâ‚¬â„¢t be so hard

Innaâ‚¬â„¢s got a twelve year old
And she dies inside
She canâ‚¬â„¢t clear the picture from her eyes
Of leaving that little girl behind

But sheâ‚¬â„¢s gonna find a daddy here
And her girlâ‚¬â„¢s gonna come here too
But just like every other dream so far
She knows that one probably wonâ‚¬â„¢t come true

And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah thatâ‚¬â„¢s right, she keeps her smile when sheâ‚¬â„¢s about to cry
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Innaâ‚¬â„¢s friends back home think sheâ‚¬â„¢s got it made

Every week she sends some money home
Says things here are going well
She doesnâ‚¬â„¢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
Youâ‚¬â„¢d thought that I had asked her who died

I started to apologize
I was just trying to kill some time
I still canâ‚¬â„¢t keep Inna from my mind
But I will never look behind

â‚¬ËœCause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah thatâ‚¬â„¢s right, she keeps her smile when sheâ‚¬â„¢s about to cry
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Innaâ‚¬â„¢s friends back home â‚¬" they think sheâ‚¬â„¢s got it made
