Sonoyta Lyrics

She came from a border town, just south of Lukeville

That's where she met her man

He had another family in another city

And he worked for the cartel so one day she ran

Took her daughter out to Ensenada

Thinking he won't find her there

Rented an apartment, tried to start it all over again

Some people make a living doing nothing

They just know when to sell

She started up a business, teaching English

It's doing fairly well

Has a son he lives in Arizona, she seems him once a year

Never shows her feelings, wrestles with her demons

Till the memory disappears

She was a stranger, and a lover

She was a friend

She had a secret, couldn't keep it

I lost her in the end

There's an island off the coast of Baja

One day they'll find her there

Caught in a drift net, smell of cigarettes

Still lingering in her hair
