The Line (Album Version) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)[00:00:00]

I got my discharge from fort irwin[00:00:08]

Took a place on the san diego county line[00:00:12]

Felt funny bein a civilian again[00:00:16]

Itd be some time[00:00:21]

My wife had died a year ago[00:00:24]

I was still tryin to find my way back whole[00:00:28]

Went to work for the ins on the line[00:00:32]

With the california border patrol[00:00:37]

Bobby ramirez was a ten year veteran[00:00:42]

We became friends[00:00:48]

His family was from[00:00:50]

Guanajuato[00:00:52]

So the job it was different for him[00:00:54]

He said they risk death in the deserts and mountains[00:00:58]

Pay all they got to the smugglers rings[00:01:02]

We send em home and they come right back again[00:01:06]

Carl hunger is a powerful thing [00:01:11]

Well I was good at doin what I was to[00:01:17]

Ld kept my uniform pressed and clean[00:01:21]

At night I chased their shadows[00:01:25]

Thru the arroyos and ravines[00:01:29]

Drug runners farmers with their families[00:01:33]

Young women with little children by their sides[00:01:37]

Come night wed wait out in the canyons[00:01:41]

And try to keep em from crossin the line[00:01:45]

Well the first time that I saw her[00:01:52]

She was in the holdin pen[00:01:56]

Our eyes met and she looked away[00:02:00]

Then she looked back again[00:02:04]

Her hair was black as coal[00:02:08]

Her eyes reminded me of what Id lost[00:02:12]

She had a young child cryin in her arms[00:02:16]

I asked senora is there anything I can do [00:02:20]

Theres a bar in tijuana[00:02:26]

Where me and bobby alongsidedrink[00:02:29]

The same people wed sent back the day before[00:02:30]

She said her name was louisa[00:02:34]

She was from sonora and had just come north[00:02:38]

We danced and I held her in my arms[00:02:43]

And I knew what I would do[00:02:47]

She said she had some family in madera county[00:02:50]

If she her child and younger brother could just get thru[00:02:54]

At night they come across the levee[00:03:00]

In the searchlights dusty glow[00:03:05]

Wed rush em in our broncos[00:03:09]

Force em back down into the river below[00:03:13]

She climbed into my truck[00:03:17]

She leaned toward me and we kissed[00:03:21]

As we drove her brothers shirt slipped open[00:03:25]

And I saw the tape across his chest[00:03:29]

We were just about on the highway[00:03:35]

When bobbys jeep come up in the dust on my right[00:03:38]

I pulled over and let my engine run[00:03:44]

And stepped out into his lights[00:03:48]

I felt myself movin[00:03:53]

My gun restin neath my hand[00:03:56]

We stood there starin at each other[00:04:00]

As off thru the arroyo she ran[00:04:04]

Bobby ramirez he never said nothin[00:04:14]

6 months later I left the line[00:04:18]

I drifted to the central valley[00:04:22]

And took what work I could find[00:04:26]

At night I searched the local bars[00:04:31]

And the migrant towns[00:04:36]

Lookin for my louisa[00:04:39]

With the black hair fallin down[00:04:42]
