Sisters ft. Tish Hinojosa Lyrics

Back to back in the desert sand

That's how they sleep in the evening

Two twin girls grew up hand in hand

With their lives interweaving

One looks north and the other south

They share the blood of the river

One is lively but she is poor

Takes what the rich one can give her

They share the same church

They sing the same songs

They count the same stars

And they will always belong

Side by side in this storied land

Of the cross and the lasso

Sisters, sisters

Juarez and El Paso

With the sun from their father's side

And the moon as their mother

Bad men use them and break their hearts

What hurts one hurts the other

Close as kin, close as souls can be

Still always something divides them

Cruel as fate and as hard as steel

Cannot break what's inside them

They share the same church

They sing the same songs

They count the same stars

And they will always belong

Side by side in this storied land

Of the cross and the lasso

Sisters, sisters

Juarez and El Paso
