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
