A#
I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
D# A#
took a place on the San Diego county line
D# A#
felt funny bein' a civilian again
F
it'd been some time
A#
my wife had died a year ago
D# A#
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
D# A#
I went to work for the INS on the line
F A#
with the California Border Patrol
D#
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
A#
and we became friends
D# A#
his family was from Guanajuato
F
so the job it was different for him
A#
he said' "They risk death in the deserts and mountains"
D# A#
pay all they got to the smugglers rings,
D# A#
we send 'em home and they come right back again
F A#
Carl, hunger is a powerful thing."
D# A#
Well I was good at doin' what I was told
D# A#
kept my uniform pressed and clean
D# A#
at night I chased their shadows
F
through the arroyos and ravines
A#
drug runners, farmers with their families,
D# A#
young women with little children by their sides
D# A#
come night we'd wait out in the canyons
F A#
and try to keep 'em from crossin' the line
Well the first time that I saw her
D# A#
she was in the holdin' pen
D# A#
Our eyes met and she looked away
F
then she looked back again
A#
her hair was black as coal
D# A#
her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
D#
she had a young child cryin' in her arms
A# F A#
and I asked, "Senora, is there anything I can do"
Gm7
There's a bar in Tijuana
D#
where me and Bobby drink alongside
A# F A#
the same people we'd sent back the day before
Gm7 D#
we met there she said her name was Louisa
A# F
she was from Sonora and had just come north
Gm7 D#
we danced and I held her in my arms
F A#
and I knew what I would do
D# A#
she said she had some family in Madera county
F A#
if she, her child and her younger brother could just get through
At night they come across the levy
D# A#
in the searchlights dusty glow
D# A#
we'd rush 'em in our Broncos
F
and force 'em back down into the river below
A#
she climbed into my truck
D# A#
she leaned towards me and we kissed
D# A#
as we drove her brothers shirt slipped open
F A#
and I saw the tape across his chest
Gm7 D#
We were just about on the highway
A# F A#
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
Gm7 D#
I pulled over and let my engine run
A# F
and stepped out into his lights
Gm7
I felt myself movin'
D# F A#
felt my gun restin' 'neath my hand
D# A#
we stood there starin' at each other
F A#
as off through the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
D# A#
6 months later I left the line
D# A#
I drifted to the central valley
F
and took what work I could find
A#
at night I searched the local bars
D#
and the migrant towns
A#
Lookin' for my Louisa
F A#
with the black hair fallin' down
