Testo Tony & Maria

One hundred and fifty miles from Mexico to LA Doesn't seem that far but still a world away Went up to see her husband Tony Who left some years ago He wrote to say come be with me I love and miss you so And I promise that I'll care for you Wrote Tony to his wife Now and for the rest of my life Tony washes dishes, Maria she sweeps floors The dreams that they once had Well they don't have them anymore Instead she stares up at the ceiling While most are fast asleep She thinks about her babies And prays the lord their souls to keep We promised that we'd care for them Said Tony to his wife Now and for the rest of our lives One time late at night while looking at the sky They saw a shooting star burning silver and so bright Said could this here be a sign That it's time to go back home 'Cause even with you near me I still feel all alone We promised that we'd care for one another Said his wife Now and for the rest of our lives
