one mile apart - michael johnson lyrics
my name is mary francis and i live in el paso
in a large house on mt. franklin, i have quite a view
i can see the desert, pecan trees in the valley
those little shacks in juarez, yes i can see them too
my name is juan contreras and from my home in juarez
i can see el paso and the houses of the rich
i leave my children sleeping to earn a few pesetas
selling red pistachios to the tourists on the bridge
which side of the river, did someone flip a coin
it’s sad enough to break a river’s heart
how can there be so much distance between us
when our houses are one mile apart
my house is spanish stucco, it has a blue jacuzzi
four bedrooms and a fireplace, a swimming pool with heat
my house is brown adobe, i don’t have running water
i don’t have indoor plumbing, or pavement on my street
which side of the river, did someone flip a coin
it’s sad enough to break a river’s heart
how can there be so much distance between us
when our houses are one mile apart
