I was 16 and so stupid
When I got shot down by Cupid
Wasn't much I could do to detour
So I took it like a man and fell for her
There she stood the girl of my dreams
Could feel my heart busting straight through the seams
And in my soul I knew she was the one
Before a single word was ever sung
She's my little señorita
And I'm so blessed
I even got to meet her
And I found some love
Gave it a whirl
Swear to the virgin
Imma marry that girl
She was taken south of the border due to government order
She left without even saying goodbye
In a migrations truck with a tear in her eye
Now I'm here but she's so far away
I think about her every night and day
I'd give up every little thing I own
Just to bring that señorita back home
Now she's so far away (far away)
Thought your love was here to stay (here to stay)
I thought I could make it on my own
But now I'm sitting in a shack
In downtown Mexico
She's my little señorita
And I'm so blessed I even got to meet her
So far away
Love her to death
But she'll be death of me
Caught between agony and ecstasy
Now I see it was not so perfect
Oh lord I wish it was worth it
She left without even saying goodbye
In a migrations truck with a tear in her eye
Now I see the point to this song
Wasn't about what this girl did wrong
In fact she did nothing wrong at all
Except for being born wrong side of the wall
I swore to the virgin
That I'd marry that girl
Didn't marry that girl
