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

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 selIs 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

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 selIs high on the black market
So your loved one can be home soon
So your loved one can be home soon

Maybe I don't understand it
Maybe I won't try
But nobody seems too satisfied

All's well here in El Norte
Who'd have thought it could be like this
So your loved one can be home soon
So your loved one can be home (can be home soon)

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 selIs high on the black market
So your loved one can be home soon
So your loved one can be home (can be home soon)
