Intro: or Power Chords, VERSE Inna came from Mexico She tried to find a job Figured she'd work on rich girls' nails That couldn't be so hard Inna's got a twelve year old And she dies inside She can't clear the picture from her eyes Of leaving that little girl behind But she's gonna find a daddy here And her girl's gonna come here too But just like every other dream so far She knows that one probably won't come true And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes Yeah that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith Inna's friends back home think she's got it made Every week she sends some money home Says things here are going well She doesn't let the tears touch the page And stain the letter all to hell I met Inna at a grocery store We were waiting in line I asked her who the Barbie doll was for You'd thought that I had asked her who died I started to apologize I was just trying to kill some time I still can't keep Inna from my mind But I will never look behind 'Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes Yeah that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith Inna's friends back home - they think she's got it made
