There's a Spanish girl with ebony eyes 
Selling Cuban coffee and guava pies 
While the boys hang at the corner store 
Drinkin Iron Beer rollin' dice on the floor 
There is two old timers talking politics 
About the Bay Of Pigs and Alfa '66 
Willie Chirino on the radio 
Cheguevara is no hero 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
There's a soldier standing in silk fatigues 
Dictating who stays and who leaves 
While a desperate man crashes through the gates 
There's an uprising at Guantanamo Bay 
You don't know what you've got till it's gone 
So embrace your freedom don't ever let it go 
There's an American flag waving in a Cuban breeze 
Fidel Castro is no Jos é Martiz 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
They were born in the ocean 
They were baptized by the sea 
They find a revolution to fight 
Freedom in Miami Beach 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
It's just another day 
It's just another day 
It's just another day 
On the Southwest side 
Oh say can you see
