Luke Jacobs - Llano Estacado lyrics

Marta, she can sing the blues Left la vida en Salina Cruz She headed north with her family To the land of opportunity And Marta, she can sing the blues On the llano estacado Out west toward the plain In a pueblo olvidado Where no one knows her name Marta, she can't settle in A thousand miles from their next of kin But little brother he don't seem to mind He can't recall life they left behind And Marta she can't settle in On the llano estacado Out west toward the plain In a pueblo olvidado Where no one knows her name La migra came to town today They closed the plant and took her dad away Oh Marta and little brother hid And Mama cried like a little kid La migra came to town today On the llano estacado Out west toward the plain In a pueblo olvidado Where no one knows her name On the llano estacado It's the furthest place to hide Just outside of nowhere Where all they got is time
