lyrics

She's afraid that this life she's made will carry away
the pink, the brown, and the blue - the yellow of the light that she's used to -and that the trains that barricade this town might stop her love from getting 'round. It's a valid concern for a girl at 18, when Momma's away and brown eyes have been glowing green from all the close families she's seen hugging and kissing, relating their days, when she's so far, so far away. Chin up, your boy's on his way up. Chin up, your boy's gonna take you home. Chin up, your man will get a better job. Chin up, you're in love. But, she longs for Mexico. She longs for Pekin. She longs for Mexico. She longs for Washington. There's sand in that pillow tucked up under her head, while her Funshine Bear looks on from her bookshelf. Momma and Grandma's words, they help her sleep, they comfort her. Chin up, your boy's on his way up. Chin up, your boy's on his way. (Swing low, coming for to carry me.) Chin up, your man will get a better job. Chin up, you're in love. You're in love and you are loved.
