Inna From Mexico Jack Ingram
Intro: E A
VERSE
[E]Inna came from M[A]exico
[E]She tried to[A] find a[E] job
[E]Figured she’d work on ri[A]ch girls’ nails
[E]That couldn’t[A] be so [E]hard
Inna’s got a twelve year old
And she dies inside
She can’t clear the picture from her eyes
Of leaving that little girl behind
But she’s gonna find a daddy here
And her girl’s gonna come here too
But just like every other dream so far
She knows that one probably won’t come true
Chorus
[B7]And you can see it in her smile looking at h[E]er eyes
[B7]Yeah that’s right, she keeps her smile when she[E]’s about to cry
[B]I think she knows the truth but she whis[E]pers faith
[B]Inna’s friends back home [A]think she’s got i[E]t made
Every week she sends some money home
Says things here are going well
She doesn’t let the tears touch the page
And stain the letter all to hell
I met Inna at a grocery store
We were waiting in line
I asked her who the Barbie doll was for
You’d thought that I had asked her who died
I started to apologize
I was just trying to kill some time
I still can’t keep Inna from my mind
But I will never look behind
‘Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah that’s right, she keeps her smile when she’s about to cry
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Inna’s friends back home – they think she’s got it made
