Wave Songtext
von Alejandro Escovedo

How did you get here?
By train, by truck, on foot, on your hands and knees
Why did your father come here?
To escape Culiacán
To lay tracks on his hands and knees

Wave goodbye to Culiacán
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye to Ajo
Everybody waves goodbye
Wave goodbye
Come aboard the train
Wave goodbye
Turn and wave goodbye again

Some go north, some go south
Maybe east, some left out
Some are rich, some are poor
But everybody′s got to win


Wave goodbye
They've headed for the other side
The sun shines brighter there
And everyone′s got golden hair

They went north, they went south
Maybe east, some left out
Some are rich, some are poor
Some want less, some want more

My cousin said
"We're gonna find the ones that left"
A boy climbs aboard the train
Never to wave bye again

He went north, he went south
Maybe east, some left out
Some are rich, some are poor
But everybody's got to wait

Don′t you cry
I′ve made it to the other side
The sun's not brighter here
It only shines on golden hair


I went north, I went south
Maybe east, some left out
Some are rich, some are poor
But everybody′s got to wait
