Lyrics
How did you get here? By train, by truck, on foot, on your hands and knees Why did your father come here? To escape Culiacán To lay tracks on his hands and knees
Wave goodbye to Culiacán Wave goodbye Wave goodbye to Ajo Everybody waves goodbye Wave goodbye Come aboard the train Wave goodbye Turn and wave goodbye again
Some go north, some go south Maybe east, some left out Some are rich, some are poor But everybody's got to win
Wave goodbye They've headed for the other side The sun shines brighter there And everyone's got golden hair
They went north, they went south Maybe east, some left out Some are rich, some are poor Some want less, some want more
My cousin said "We're gonna find the ones that left" A boy climbs aboard the train Never to wave bye again
He went north, he went south Maybe east, some left out Some are rich, some are poor But everybody's got to wait
Don't you cry I've made it to the other side The sun's not brighter here It only shines on golden hair
I went north, I went south Maybe east, some left out Some are rich, some are poor But everybody's got to wait
