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