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