I sent Maria North last summer said I'd follow over soon I'm reminded of my promise 'neath a yellow desert moon I can hear the crickets song again it's time for me to go Cross over the border get out of Mexico
By the bank I scan the darkness and watch the river rollin' past I crouch down in the water hidden by the grass And I wade that muddy river till I reach the other side I scramble through the bushes and out into the night
And a foreign land is all that stands between me and Maria I cross the line with her in mind my only chance to see her
I rush silent through mesquite brush no thought of slowin' down Movin' over the barbed wire fence I never made a sound And I'd sent word to Maria where to meet me before dawn I knew she would not fail me I prayed nothing would go wrong
So I inched across the fencelines and rushed across the roads I was watching close for green and white INS Broncos And at least I reached the crossroads before morning's light Soaked with sweat and torn by thorns Maria nowhere in sight
And a foreign land is all that stands between me and Maria I cross the line with her in mind my only chance to see her
So I hid off in the brush paralyzed by fear I searched my brain for answers why Maria was not here And the sky turned gray as dawn approached still I saw no sign Of Maria down that long highway I was runnin' out of time
Then a flicker down the pavement dropped me to the dust With the rush of tires on asphalt I looked out through the brush And my heart leapt to my throat the patrol Bronco passed I met the eyes of sweet Maria cryin' through the glass
I stood and watched them disappear speeding down the road I walked out on the blacktop then turned my head to go On the quiet early morning my heart heavy filled with pain I crawled across the barbed wire headed back the way I came
And a foreign land is all that stands between me and Maria I cross the line with her in mind my only chance to see her. My only chance to see her...
