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"
Em7
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
Em7 C
we met there she said her name was Louisa
G D
she was from Sonora and had just come north
Em7 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
Em7 C
We were just about on the highway
G D G
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
Em7 C
I pulled over and let my engine run
G D
and stepped out into his lights
Em7
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
