Brian Setzer Orchestra - Maria lyrics

rate me

The rains never came I saw my land die

Maria was sleeping when I kissed her goodbye

I couldn't stand the sound of my children cryin' no more

You get hungry you get mad

A man without hope is a man that turns bad

I'll try my luck in Texas adios Mexico

Wipe away your tears Maria

There's a better life for us somewhere

Let me see you smile Maria

Close your eyes we're on our way there

My country was a great one once upon a time

I wish I lived when you didn't need borderlines

Somebody came and took the heart of my people away

Now I ain't worried baby come hear what I say

My people gonna rise again fightin' someday

I'll be there to see it I'll be there to welcome them home

Wipe away your tears Maria

There's a better life for us somewhere

Let me see you smile Maria

Close your eyes we're on our way there

I saw Texas she looked so fine

I met some other people same story as mine

Laughin' and drinkin' waitin' for the sun to go down

We had life in our eyes as we crossed the border line

Shot six good men without tellin' them why

How could anybody steal the only thing a man has left

Wipe away your tears Maria

There's a better life for us somewhere

Let me see you smile Maria

Close your eyes we're on our way there
