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
E
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
E 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
E
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
E 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
E
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
E 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
E
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 E A
and I asked, "Senora, is there anything I can do"
F#m7
There's a bar in Tijuana
D
where me and Bobby drink alongside
A E A
the same people we'd sent back the day before
F#m7 D
we met there she said her name was Louisa
A E
she was from Sonora and had just come north
F#m7 D
we danced and I held her in my arms
E A
and I knew what I would do
D A
she said she had some family in Madera county
E 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
E
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
E A
and I saw the tape across his chest
F#m7 D
We were just about on the highway
A E A
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
F#m7 D
I pulled over and let my engine run
A E
and stepped out into his lights
F#m7
I felt myself movin'
D E A
felt my gun restin' 'neath my hand
D A
we stood there starin' at each other
E 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
E
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
E A
with the black hair fallin' down
