Mi madre me encomendó a la virgen de Guadalupe 
Tomé mi guitarra, mis cosas y me fui rumbo al norte 
Crucé la aduana de Guatemala con más miedo que ganas  

Entré recogiendo las musas que dejaron tiradas 
Chava Flores, José Alfredo y el mismo Agustin Lara 
Y con los restos fui formando un Quién dirí­a 
Y una Primera vez, y estaba solo 
Con un Jesús verbo no sustantivo en la garganta  

Estaba en México, sin un centavo 
Me sentí un hombre de éxito 
México uh oh, México uh oh 
El destino me pintó el camino 
Que me trajo hasta aquí         

No sé si fueron los tequilas pero hablé con Negrete 
Aquella noche en el Tenampa que acabó al otro dí­a 
Y en División del Norte tomé un taxi que después fue canción  

Estaba tan desesperado esperando su turno 
Con una ensarta de canciones el Animal Nocturno 

Y el miedo se convertí­a en respeto 
Por cantarles aquí en la misma tierra 
De Manzanero, la Beltrán y Pedro Vargas  

Estaba en México, sin un centavo 
Me sentía un hombre de éxito 
México uh oh, México uh oh 
El destino me pintó el camino 
Que me trajo hasta aquí      

Caminando en la alameda, me platicaba una anciana 
Pedro Infante esté¡ vivo, pasa todas las mañanas 
Y es que aquí, lo que se ama nunca muere  

México 
Sin un centavo me sentí­a un hombre de éxito 

México 
El destino me pintó el camino
