El Norte

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)
