In Her Eyes
Mexico Lyrics

@katchastain4984

This song is so stuck in my head I get goosebumps when I hear her voice 🙏❤️

@shanesia2911

Facts 👌🏾

@briellewools

God I had an actual physical gut punch reaction once i put it together that the first woman is her grandmother and that this is a testament to her mamas strength and resilience. I knew it was written for her mom from the shorts floating around but damn this song is a lot deeper than i initially thought 🥺

@mint4444

I know! Such an amazing song. Her songwriting is so vivid.

@pkmcnett5649

Thank you. I was trying to guess who was whom.

@selinademir2274

but her mom left her didnt she

@Alex-cw1ph

​@@selinademir2274no. Her mom got left. Abby is the third girl in this song

@pkmcnett5649

@selinademir2274  the original girl, in Mexico, is the grandmother.

@dennismitchell4381

I still don’t understand how this doesn’t have more plays/likes. The way she says “San Antone” gives me chills.

@purplesnowqueen12396

True Texan natives, old ones. Will say it that. Make you need to go back in history.

@SarahOFlanagan-du2ts

Me too! She is amazing.

@edwardglasspool6757

That bit had me coming back over and over again

@elbolsillo

Dude same. Even tho I’m still a tad bitter about the Spurs handling my Suns consistently from like 2005-2009 lol

@teresadriver-fuller9266

Just heard this on XM radio ...of course turned it up load !!

@Evija3000

Love how the story goes through generations and initially you might think the heart on fire belonged to the girl who got pregnant, but in the end it actually fits the daughter much more because the mom ended up just running away, but their daughter had to live with the consequences. Because of one reckless night a little girl had to grow up in the system and become stronger and smarter than both of her parents.

@sonnymartone6759

That little girl is Abby’s mom

@Evija3000

@@sonnymartone6759 Really? That makes it even better. I was wondering if there's a personal element to it the way she's singing.

@amandamarsh1781

So beautiful

@eddean9674

@@Evija3000I’m seeing that too. Gotta be her song.

If not, the world, just ain’t right.

@deathbloom27

​@@eddean9674yeah, she said she wrote it for her mom

@Sadtoday

This gives me chills, knowing how hardened Mexican grandmas are and moms are that she is sharing the traumas and not holding back. I love it.

@skyencisochannel5237

Is her mom Mexican? She said the song was about her mom? But she sounds like she just has American background the way she says certain things in her music

@marley5018

@@skyencisochannel5237probably Mexican mom but grew up in the states so has the American accent :)

@catherinejones6481

This is the best song I’ve heard in a very long time. I hope it gets the attention that it deserves.

I agree. I love the lyrics, her voice, everything just flows so naturally. She has literally taken us on that journey.

@JohnMoore-xf5wy

We agree.

@gawebm

I love the simplicity of this video. Everything just seems authentic. Doesn't need fancy clothes and a ton of makeup. Just a natural setting with a naturally beautiful person that has a beautiful, effortless voice.

As a fatherless child this one hits parts I’ve built to blocked out through many years . Now that I’ve got 3 sons of my own, I promised to never let them feel what I’ve felt or went through .

@deathbloom27

As a mother who did the same damn thing, just up and left and went west, I will be the first mother in 4 generations to not leave my daughter. Can't even imagine it. I already broke the alcoholic cycle, this one is a breeze. Easiest decision I've ever made.

@tamaralynn2740

When she said "had herself a dark eyed girl,swore all the tears she cried was a pain she'll never know" sent me 😭😭 i could feel her mother's pain and desparation in that line alone. Wow.

@jimmymarsh44

"Can you smell that smoke drifting in the desert wind" is such cool symbolism for how our actions have consequences that affect others. This song appeals to the beliefs of people from all kinds of backgrounds. Another commenter said it could become as iconic and universally loved as "Jolene" and I totally see it.

@cheri5954

I saw this girl last night open for Stevie Nicks 🤯🤯 she was fucking great!

@apeape06

No way!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

@selinademir2274

She was a dark-haired Juárez beauty
Flirtin' with a G.I. Joe off-duty
Workin' him for tips at a bar in Mexico
One cigarette smoke break by the back door
Turned into a pack on the hood of his Ford
Wherever he is now, the devil knows
A late night 2 a.m. mistake
But sometimes one time is all it takes
Won't be long now 'fore she starts to show
Can you smell that smoke
Driftin' in the desert wind to San Antone?
A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Turns out all the big dreams she had
Didn't look like feedin' mouths on food stamps
So one night, she up and drove away
And that baby girl, she left survivin'
One day, got real tired of cryin'
Grew up mad as hell and countin' down the days
Oh, can you smell that smoke
Driftin' in the desert wind to San Antone?
A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico
Hmm, hmm
In Mexico
Mmm, mhm
No one to care, nowhere to go
But in and out of foster homes
She had a dream that burned and she made it out
Rolled into those Texas hills
Had herself a dark-eyed girl
Swore all the tears she cried was a pain she'll never know
Can you smell that smoke
Driftin' in the desert wind to San Antone?
A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go, leave a heart on fire in Mexico
Mmm, mmm
In Mexico
Hmm, mhm, mhm

@defaultdummy245

"Drifting in the desert wind to San Antone" resonates with me for probably the same reason it does with us that grew up in the drylands of the US. Being kids outside, sweating, feeling the heat and sun all day then standing outside at night in the backyard with the warm currents of dry wind. Feels like putting on clothes right out of the dryer.

@zylee7

This is SO GOOD! I don't understand with all of the trash that gets play, this is still a hidden gem. Beautiful and unique look with a very different sound than you hear anywhere close to country. She deserves the accolades and riches that comes with writing and performing hit songs.

@donjennings9214

To open your heart, and reveal the pain inside, takes a vulnerability, and maturity that so few contemporary song writers have.
I found this song when I was looking for a song to practice my guitar picking with. I was hooked from the first sentence. Wow! If country music had more songs like this, I'd go back to listening to it.

@BBQ1953

She might not get much air time on the radio for a while. If her label is too independent, that’d mean they’re not stitched at the hip to the Country radio stations like the big record labels are. That’s why Apple Music, Spotify, and the other online avenues for getting their music is so important to these young artists like her.
