lyrics

Momma And Me

Chorus
When Momma and me
crossed the Rio Grande Valley
looking for mercy
in the land of the free
they rounded us up and put us in prison
for no good reason
just to be mean

V1
The cartels took over and poisoned our town
and those who resisted have yet to be found
the markets are empty my school is shut down
fields that were green are now dry and brown
...they poisoned our town

Chorus

V2
Poppa left home when they threatened our family
scared and alone without any money
he's not comin' back, that's what he told me
as he slithered away like a snake from a coyote
...they threatened our family

Bridge
All we need is a room to call our own
toothpaste and soap,
clean clothes and a pillow
It's so cold in this cage,
and this aluminum cape
can't help me fly away

V3
If we could just get to Corpus Christi
we could find work rather quickly
Momma can cook and clean to make ends meet
I'd work three jobs to keep myself busy
...in Corpus Christi

Chorus
