The cactus flowers bloomed, the Mexicali moon was rising But tonight is just not any night, it's that once in your life Oh, now it's coming She's smiling on the pillow at the break of day He called from Amarillo to say he's on his way From the moment her love took on working for migrants' pay She's been waiting so long now the baby is on its way If it's tonight, tonight Now she's over the rainbow, a vessel only to day to go Down the coast where they used to go, she will be standing by Cause it's tonight, tonight Just to feel your hand in mine Makes my heart beat faster every time Just to feel your hand in mine It will heal all of my wounds tonight You know it's coming home baby, it's coming home now Sing it, sing it all It's all across the border, just escaped from the jail now The greyhound's coming, you just wanna be around for the baby You see how they're breathing now, who knows what their life needs now Just tonight, tonight There is no wrong or right Tonight, tonight You know it's coming, hey, you know it's coming You know it's coming, he's gonna be right next to you Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight Just once in your life Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight
