In the still of the desert, in the light of the moon
Am C Em
Armando walks all alone
Am C G Am
And the river ahead holds promise and dread
F Em Am
And he's 900 miles from his home
Am C G Am
He pays the coyote, dodges La Migra
Am C Em
Walks for four hungry days
Am C G Am
When he finally hits Austin, the boomtown is bustin'
F Em Am
But he takes what the contractor pays
C Am
When love for family is stronger than fear
C Am
When the desperation sets in
C Am
A man will cross any line that is drawn
F E
And who's to say it's a sin
Am C G Am
And he crossed himself at the borderline
He wired the dollars to Elena back home
