Inna came from Mexico
She tried to find a job
Figured shed work on rich girls nails

That couldnt be so hard

Innas got a twelve year old

And she dies inside
She cant clear the picture from her eyes
Of leaving that little girl behind


But shes gonna find a daddy here
And her girls gonna come here too

But just like every other dream so far
She knows that one probably wont come true


And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah thats right, she keeps her smile when shes about to cry
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith

Innas friends back home think shes got it made

Every week she sends some money home

Says things here are going well
She doesnt 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
Youd thought that I had asked her who died


I started to apologize
I was just trying to kill some time
I still cant keep Inna from my mind

But I will never look behind

Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes

Yeah thats right, she keeps her smile when shes about to cry
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Innas friends back home they think shes got it made
