We had fence to build a warm place to stay and they had nowhere to go 
            Bm                                                                   G                 
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

I hear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border line 
         A                                                    Bm       Bm A 
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

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

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 
                    G 
The coast is clear Isabel 
                    G          
The coast is clear Isabel
