She ain't got no papers
She got a belly and it's swellin' up her ankles
She had no idea
Four months ago when she left Costa Rica
Her boyfriend used to beat her
She said, "hit me one more time and I'm packing up my shit"
Oh, he didn't believe her
With a black eye she went out to find her escape
Ooh (oh no) she ain't comin' back
She gave all her money to a man
A coyote in a van
Ooh (oh no) she ain't comin' back
She gave all her money to a man
A coyote in a van
But she had been lied to
They said a van to a boat
A boat to a car
A car to a plane
And a plane to the stars
But it was mostly on foot through the rivers
And it was mostly with God in the deserts
It was like nothing they'd promised
Shut up or there's violence
Ooh (oh no) she ain't comin' back
She gave all her money to a man
A coyote in a van
Ooh (oh no) she ain't comin' back
She gave all her money to a man
A coyote in a van, she-ah
She ain't comin', she, she, she ain't comin'
She ain't comin', she, she
Did she make it here, oh we'll never know
If she's living here, yeah she's livin' low
And if you ask me if I've seen her
I'll say no 'cause blood's thicker than la Migra
Do you know how hard it's gotta be
If you'd rather risk the chance of leaving clothes on trees
And if you still find it hard to see
Just think for a minute
If you didn't have your freedom
What would you do to get it? Yeah
(Ooh, oh no) she ain't comin' back
She gave all her money to a man
A coyote in a van, ooh yeah
(Ooh, oh no) she ain't comin' back
She gave all her money to a man
A coyote in a van, she-ah
(She ain't comin', she, she, she ain't comin', she ain't comin')
She ain't comin' back, no
(She ain't comin', she, she, she ain't comin', she ain't comin')
Mm, no, no
She ain't comin' back, no, no
(She ain't comin', she, she, she ain't comin', she ain't comin')
Ooh, she ain't comin' back, no, no
(She ain't comin', she, she, she ain't comin', she ain't comin')
Yeah, yeah, she ain't comin' back
(She ain't comin', she, she, she ain't comin', she ain't comin')
Yeah, she gotta go
Yeah, she gotta go...
