G#
I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
C# G#
took a place on the San Diego county line
C# G#
felt funny bein' a civilian again
D#
it'd been some time
G#
my wife had died a year ago
C# G#
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
C# G#
I went to work for the INS on the line
D# G#
with the California Border Patrol
C#
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
G#
and we became friends
C# G#
his family was from Guanajuato
D#
so the job it was different for him
G#
he said' "They risk death in the deserts and mountains"
C# G#
pay all they got to the smugglers rings,
C# G#
we send 'em home and they come right back again
D# G#
Carl, hunger is a powerful thing."
C# G#
Well I was good at doin' what I was told
C# G#
kept my uniform pressed and clean
C# G#
at night I chased their shadows
D#
through the arroyos and ravines
G#
drug runners, farmers with their families,
C# G#
young women with little children by their sides
C# G#
come night we'd wait out in the canyons
D# G#
and try to keep 'em from crossin' the line
Well the first time that I saw her
C# G#
she was in the holdin' pen
C# G#
Our eyes met and she looked away
D#
then she looked back again
G#
her hair was black as coal
C# G#
her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
C#
she had a young child cryin' in her arms
G# D# G#
and I asked, "Senora, is there anything I can do"
Fm7
There's a bar in Tijuana
C#
where me and Bobby drink alongside
G# D# G#
the same people we'd sent back the day before
Fm7 C#
we met there she said her name was Louisa
G# D#
she was from Sonora and had just come north
Fm7 C#
we danced and I held her in my arms
D# G#
and I knew what I would do
C# G#
she said she had some family in Madera county
D# G#
if she, her child and her younger brother could just get through
At night they come across the levy
C# G#
in the searchlights dusty glow
C# G#
we'd rush 'em in our Broncos
D#
and force 'em back down into the river below
G#
she climbed into my truck
C# G#
she leaned towards me and we kissed
C# G#
as we drove her brothers shirt slipped open
D# G#
and I saw the tape across his chest
Fm7 C#
We were just about on the highway
G# D# G#
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
Fm7 C#
I pulled over and let my engine run
G# D#
and stepped out into his lights
Fm7
I felt myself movin'
C# D# G#
felt my gun restin' 'neath my hand
C# G#
we stood there starin' at each other
D# G#
as off through the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
C# G#
6 months later I left the line
C# G#
I drifted to the central valley
D#
and took what work I could find
G#
at night I searched the local bars
C#
and the migrant towns
G#
Lookin' for my Louisa
D# G#
with the black hair fallin' down
