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