lyrics

As I look back now, I think of you and I
kissing underneath the football field lights.
The San Fernando Valley in 1985
You were my first love and I was your first time

Born in Ensenada, crossed the border as a kid
I promised her I'd never talk about it

You told me of Mexico, the desert and the sea
The beauty of my people and the blood inside of me
I never learned Spanish, even though you would try
You would say, "comprende" I'd nod and I lie

Born in Ensenada, crossed the border as a kid
I promised her I'd never talk about it
I started playing football with the white boys and getting high
I never got a chance to say goodbye

Ooh, Ooh

It was the middle of the school year when they took you away
something about illegals being swept up in a raid
I never saw you again, your memory is a dream
a fading summer mist, a film I never seen.
