It's a million miles

A giant place

Like a work of art

Amazing, amazing



Fast cars that cannot move

Die for a parking space

Stuck on a carousel

Crazy, it's crazy



When you laugh

Till you cry

When you laugh



(Chorus)

All's well here in El Norte

Who'd have thought it could be like this

Big money for a job well done

I swear to you

I got a ride from a coyote

Who sells high on the black market



So your loved one can be home soon

So your loved one can be home soon



Fine women with dress-up clothes

Say and do anything

Wake up to work the day

Tousled and tangled



Rub shoulders with the downtown gang

Where the Virgin lives

Just like a movie star

Hopeful and graceful



When she smiles

Till you laugh

Till you cry



(Repeat Chorus)



Maybe I don't understand it

Maybe I won't try

But nobody seems too satisfied



(Repeat Chorus)
