Verse 1
A 
There's blood from Guanajuato
running in grandfather's veins

It fills the belt he bought from
Michoacán, forever etched into his skin.

Verse 2

from El Salvador,

but we all grew up east of LA

Where chili lime just costs a dime and coco

water's more plentiful than rain.

Grandma says I've got a cactus stem

nailed to the top of my head.

But she says not to worry. The

Virgin Mary likes me that way.

Verse 3

Oh, I know. In me,

there's a red moon rising.

Oh, I know. In me,

a coyote's smiling at a red moon rising

Interlude 1

Verse 4
A 
I can close my eyes and see the living room
G 
A 
that sits three thousand miles away
It's the womb where all my cousins grew,
G 
A 
the paneling all lined with photos of saints.
G 
A 
Yeah, it's a temple on a cul- de- sac,
D 
where innocence and refuge meet.
A 
Muffling out the choir of car alarms
G 
A 
so tired little children can sleep.

Verse 5

Oh, I know. In me,

there's a red moon rising.

Oh, I know. In me, a coyote's

smiling at the red moon rising.

Verse 6
A 
When I left that place,
I felt as though my accent didn't sound
the same and that I'd never get it back.
D 
A 
I have a new part to play. It's the sort of thing
Em 
A 
that happens when you come of age,
but even in the midst of all
Em 
D 
this change for me,
A 
I will never forget where I come from
