"Girl In Mexico" Lyrics

She had her heart set on Mexico
One day she packed her bags and said she'd go
Before she left she said all her goodbyes
Her father wasn't there, her mother cried

She wrote a letter home
Mother, how are you?
Forward speaking, in tongues
She had places she should go
Maybe somewhere, Mexico

One day she got a letter in the mail
It was her mother saying all is well
She said her father needed her to pray
She said momma I'll be home someday

She wrote a letter home
Father, where are you?
Forward speaking, in tongues
She had places she should go
Maybe somewhere, Mexico

And she's callin' home
And her father spoke
It's been such a long time
He didn't realize
She was ever alone

And she's callin' home
And her mother spoke
It's been such a long time
Together they cried
She's on her way home
And now she's home

She wrote a letter home
Father how are you?
Forward speaking tongues
She had places she should go
Maybe somewhere Mexico

She had places she should go
Maybe somewhere Mexico
