C#
I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
F# C#
took a place on the San Diego county line
F# C#
felt funny bein' a civilian again
G#
it'd been some time
C#
my wife had died a year ago
F# C#
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
F# C#
I went to work for the INS on the line
G# C#
with the California Border Patrol
F#
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
C#
and we became friends
F# C#
his family was from Guanajuato
G#
so the job it was different for him
C#
he said' "They risk death in the deserts and mountains"
F# C#
pay all they got to the smugglers rings,
F# C#
we send 'em home and they come right back again
G# C#
Carl, hunger is a powerful thing."
F# C#
Well I was good at doin' what I was told
F# C#
kept my uniform pressed and clean
F# C#
at night I chased their shadows
G#
through the arroyos and ravines
C#
drug runners, farmers with their families,
F# C#
young women with little children by their sides
F# C#
come night we'd wait out in the canyons
G# C#
and try to keep 'em from crossin' the line
Well the first time that I saw her
F# C#
she was in the holdin' pen
F# C#
Our eyes met and she looked away
G#
then she looked back again
C#
her hair was black as coal
F# C#
her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
F#
she had a young child cryin' in her arms
C# G# C#
and I asked, "Senora, is there anything I can do"
A#m7
There's a bar in Tijuana
F#
where me and Bobby drink alongside
C# G# C#
the same people we'd sent back the day before
A#m7 F#
we met there she said her name was Louisa
C# G#
she was from Sonora and had just come north
A#m7 F#
we danced and I held her in my arms
G# C#
and I knew what I would do
F# C#
she said she had some family in Madera county
G# C#
if she, her child and her younger brother could just get through
At night they come across the levy
F# C#
in the searchlights dusty glow
F# C#
we'd rush 'em in our Broncos
G#
and force 'em back down into the river below
C#
she climbed into my truck
F# C#
she leaned towards me and we kissed
F# C#
as we drove her brothers shirt slipped open
G# C#
and I saw the tape across his chest
A#m7 F#
We were just about on the highway
C# G# C#
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
A#m7 F#
I pulled over and let my engine run
C# G#
and stepped out into his lights
A#m7
I felt myself movin'
F# G# C#
felt my gun restin' 'neath my hand
F# C#
we stood there starin' at each other
G# C#
as off through the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
F# C#
6 months later I left the line
F# C#
I drifted to the central valley
G#
and took what work I could find
C#
at night I searched the local bars
F#
and the migrant towns
C#
Lookin' for my Louisa
G# C#
with the black hair fallin' down
