It's a million miles, a giant place Like a work of art, amazing, amazing Fast cars that cannot move die for a parking space Stuck on a carousel, crazy, it's crazy When you laugh till you cry When you laugh All's well here in El Norte Who'd have thought it could be like this Big money for a job well done I swear to you I got a ride from a coyote Sell's high on the black market So your loved one can be home soon So your loved one can be home soon Fine women with dress-up clothes Say and do anything Wake up to work the day, tousled and tangled Rub shoulders with the downtown gang Where the Virgin lives Just like a movie star, hopeful and graceful When she smiles till you laugh Till you cry All's well here in El Norte Who'd have thought it could be like this Big money for a job well done I swear to you I got a ride from a coyote Sell's high on the black market So your loved one can be home soon So your loved one Maybe I don't understand it Maybe I won't try But nobody seems too satisfied All's well here in El Norte Who'd have thought it could be like this So your loved one can be home soon So your loved one can be home (can be home soon)
