El Norte Lyrics

El Norte lyrics

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



(Chorus)

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

Who sells 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



(Repeat Chorus)



Maybe I don't understand it

Maybe I won't try

But nobody seems too satisfied



(Repeat
Chorus)
