I work on the border
ch]Am[/ch
I see what I see
ch]G[/ch
I work on the border
ch]Am[/ch
And it’s working on me
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
I lie awake at night
ch]Am[/ch
Knowing what I know
ch]G[/ch
There’s a price on my head
ch]Am[/ch
Of every border patrol
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
Where the smugglers do business
ch]Am[/ch
That’s where I make a stand
ch]G[/ch
I know this old desert
ch]Am[/ch
Like the back of my hand
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
I see greed in the bushes
ch]Am[/ch
I see snakes in the dark
ch]G[/ch
Some are friends of my brothers
ch]Am[/ch
Can’t you hear them dogs bark
ch]F[/ch
I come home to Maria
ch]C[/ch
At the end of the day
ch]F[/ch
In thе shape of a shadow
ch]G[/ch
Holding demons at bay
N.C. [ch]Am[/ch]
‘It’s just a border’ thеy say
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
It was Mexican soldiers
ch]Am[/ch
Out of a black Humvee
ch]G[/ch
With their guns to their shoulders
ch]Am[/ch
Aimed at my partner and me
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
As they drove away laughing
ch]Am[/ch
But the message was clear
ch]G[/ch
We don’t care about nothing
ch]Am[/ch
But the money down here
ch]F[/ch
I come home to Maria
ch]C[/ch
In a bulletproof vest
ch]F[/ch
With the weight of the whole wide world
ch]G[/ch
Barring down on my chest
N.C. [ch]Am[/ch]
It’s just a border I guess
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
From the shacks and the shantys
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Come the hungry and poor
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Some to drown at the crossings
ch]F[/ch
Some to suffer no more
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
Guess you heard about Campos
ch]Am[/ch
and Ramien
ch]G[/ch
Both of them friends of mine
ch]Am[/ch
Both good men
Verse 8→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
They did one thing right
ch]Am[/ch
And look what they got
ch]G[/ch
Federal prison
ch]Am[/ch
Where they’re both going to rot
ch]F[/ch
I come home to Maria
ch]C[/ch
Where else would I go
ch]F[/ch
Cross the River to die by myself
ch]G[/ch
Down In old Mexico
N.C. [ch]Am[/ch]
It’s just the border y’know
