Johnny's trapping stars in his car With the radio on In the parking lot Lily heard a sound While they were going down Someone on El Camino had been shot Carmelita stared She really cared for that boy He meant a lot Carmelita, she came over the border Immigration man saw her She wouldn't take a short order But it was so far behind her She had her heart on the wire She became a low rider Immigration's full of strange language strains Rules Carmelita never learned in school Not in school But in the streets of Mexico She came to know That borderlines were made to walk through Letras de canciones Her daddy said you're fine, You're not the water, you're the wine You can take and make it all new So make it new Carmelita, she came over the border Immigration man saw her 'Cause she refused to take a short order But it was easy to find her She joined the boulevard choir When he became a low rider Sometimes in the dark Some things just go wrong And it peels into the night just like a knife Like a knife They stab you so cold the blood is bottled and sold All she wanted was a radio to hold But she said dying makes her feel so old Carmelita, she came over the border Immigration man snagged her 'Cause she wouldn't take a short order But it was easy to find her She joined the boulevard choir When she became a low rider From Letras Mania
