Isabel and her brown skin shined like a sapphire in the summer sun
D A
The pride and joy of a Mexican lawman who lived by the gun
Bm G
He got cross ways with the cartel they shot down his only son Jose
D A
So in fear of his daughter's life he packed their bags and late one night she heard him say
G Bm
I hear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border line
A Bm
They say freedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria wine
G Bm
South Texas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living hell
A G
So come on let's cross that Rio, the coast is clear Isabel
Bm
The coast is clear Isabel
verse 2
Bm G
They came across our homestead tired and hungry, cold and moving slow
D A
We had fence to build a warm place to stay and they had nowhere to go

So I worked cattle with her father we were stretching wire and driving post all day
D A
While Isabel worked with my mother and late at night I held her tight and she'd take my breath away
G Bm
I hear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border line
A Bm
They say freedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria wine

South Texas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living hell

verse 3
Bm G
The sheriff came across her father they treated him like an outlaw on the run
D A
And Isabel now wears my diamond and that little boy she holds is my son
Bm G
We got a green card for her father Mariano but it came two years too late
D A
We got word that he'd been gunned down in a border town shot in the back
The last thing they heard him say
G Bm
I hear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border line
A Bm
And they say that freedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria wine

South Texas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living hell
