D
I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
G D
took a place on the San Diego county line
G D
felt funny bein' a civilian again
A
it'd been some time
D
my wife had died a year ago
G D
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
G D
I went to work for the INS on the line
A D
with the California Border Patrol
G
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
D
and we became friends
G D
his family was from Guanajuato
A
so the job it was different for him
D
he said' "They risk death in the deserts and mountains"
G D
pay all they got to the smugglers rings,
G D
we send 'em home and they come right back again
A D
Carl, hunger is a powerful thing."
G D
Well I was good at doin' what I was told
G D
kept my uniform pressed and clean
G D
at night I chased their shadows
A
through the arroyos and ravines
D
drug runners, farmers with their families,
G D
young women with little children by their sides
G D
come night we'd wait out in the canyons
A D
and try to keep 'em from crossin' the line
Well the first time that I saw her
G D
she was in the holdin' pen
G D
Our eyes met and she looked away
A
then she looked back again
D
her hair was black as coal
G D
her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
G
she had a young child cryin' in her arms
D A D
and I asked, "Senora, is there anything I can do"
Bm7
There's a bar in Tijuana
G
where me and Bobby drink alongside
D A D
the same people we'd sent back the day before
Bm7 G
we met there she said her name was Louisa
D A
she was from Sonora and had just come north
Bm7 G
we danced and I held her in my arms
A D
and I knew what I would do
G D
she said she had some family in Madera county
A D
if she, her child and her younger brother could just get through
At night they come across the levy
G D
in the searchlights dusty glow
G D
we'd rush 'em in our Broncos
A
and force 'em back down into the river below
D
she climbed into my truck
G D
she leaned towards me and we kissed
G D
as we drove her brothers shirt slipped open
A D
and I saw the tape across his chest
Bm7 G
We were just about on the highway
D A D
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
Bm7 G
I pulled over and let my engine run
D A
and stepped out into his lights
Bm7
I felt myself movin'
G A D
felt my gun restin' 'neath my hand
G D
we stood there starin' at each other
A D
as off through the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
G D
6 months later I left the line
G D
I drifted to the central valley
A
and took what work I could find
D
at night I searched the local bars
G
and the migrant towns
D
Lookin' for my Louisa
A D
with the black hair fallin' down
