Just thinking of christmas   Makes me want to cry   Cuz thats the time of year that my back was never dry      We climb out of the ryder truck and race across the sand   Crawl beneath the fence and swim across the Rio Grande      It's an american Christmas for my family   While the border control is home by there christmas tree   We sold everything we had just to get here   and if we get deported we just do it again next year      My brother has a good job   working in L.A.   He brought us up from juarez and this is where we stay.      Mama cooks chimmy changas while papa drives the drives the roach coach truck   I get work by standing in the home depot parking lot      It's American Christmas for my family   illegal *????* undocumented to me.   Everybody say there happy if I was gone   Do they need someone to wash there car and mow there lawns      They dont welcome people here who sneak in from my land   *something something something* from the Micronesian land   Even though Mexico may have been the place of my birth   Can you blame me for want to come to the greatest place on earth?      Its American Christmas in a small house with a yard   This year I'm asking Santa for a green card   I dont want to go back and have to make another round trip   For Christmas I just want one thing, my citizenship.
