I left home three years ago today For the land of opportunity, at least that's what they say And you'd think a country built by immigrants would understand To give a better life and future to his family A man would do most anything All this time thinking of Mexico Things are starting to make sense And I'm thinking maybe I'll go back again Then we can build a fence Seven days of work to send home what little pay I make Where I'm from they still take care of each other in their time of need Here we are illegal, most pretend we don't exist We are only hands to work, with no voice or face Please tell the kids… All this time thinking of Mexico Things are starting to make sense And I'm thinking maybe I'll go back again Then we can build a fence Enclosed with this page, you'll find what I've saved I'm doing my best to sleep when I can Don't worry about me This place just ain't what it seems But now I see All this time thinking of Mexico Things are starting to make sense And I'm thinking maybe I'll go back again Then we can build a fence
