F
I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
A# F
took a place on the San Diego county line
A# F
felt funny bein' a civilian again
C
it'd been some time
F
my wife had died a year ago
A# F
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
A# F
I went to work for the INS on the line
C F
with the California Border Patrol
A#
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
F
and we became friends
A# 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"
A# F
pay all they got to the smugglers rings,
A# F
we send 'em home and they come right back again
C F
Carl, hunger is a powerful thing."
A# F
Well I was good at doin' what I was told
A# F
kept my uniform pressed and clean
A# F
at night I chased their shadows
C
through the arroyos and ravines
F
drug runners, farmers with their families,
A# F
young women with little children by their sides
A# 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
A# F
she was in the holdin' pen
A# F
Our eyes met and she looked away
C
then she looked back again
F
her hair was black as coal
A# F
her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
A#
she had a young child cryin' in her arms
F C F
and I asked, "Senora, is there anything I can do"
Dm7
There's a bar in Tijuana
A#
where me and Bobby drink alongside
F C F
the same people we'd sent back the day before
Dm7 A#
we met there she said her name was Louisa
F C
she was from Sonora and had just come north
Dm7 A#
we danced and I held her in my arms
C F
and I knew what I would do
A# 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
A# F
in the searchlights dusty glow
A# F
we'd rush 'em in our Broncos
C
and force 'em back down into the river below
F
she climbed into my truck
A# F
she leaned towards me and we kissed
A# F
as we drove her brothers shirt slipped open
C F
and I saw the tape across his chest
Dm7 A#
We were just about on the highway
F C F
when Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
Dm7 A#
I pulled over and let my engine run
F C
and stepped out into his lights
Dm7
I felt myself movin'
A# C F
felt my gun restin' 'neath my hand
A# F
we stood there starin' at each other
C F
as off through the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
A# F
6 months later I left the line
A# F
I drifted to the central valley
C
and took what work I could find
F
at night I searched the local bars
A#
and the migrant towns
F
Lookin' for my Louisa
C F
with the black hair fallin' down
