D              G          D
150 miles from Mexico to LA

D                                        A
Doesn't seem that far but still a world away

           D
Went up to see her husband Tony

    G                D
who left some years ago

    D
He wrote to say come be with me

  A                 D
I miss and love you so

      Bm                A
And I promise that I'll care for you

      G           A
Wrote Tony to his wife

D               A          D
Now and for the rest of my life

D                     G              D
Tony washes dishes. Maria she sweeps floors

    D
The dreams that they once had

                             A
well they don't have them anymore

            D
Instead she stares up at the ceiling

      G                D
while most are fast asleep

    D
She thinks about her babies and prays

    A                   D
the Lord their souls to keep

   Bm                 A
We promised that we'd care for them

     G           A
Said Tony to his wife

D               A           D
Now and for the rest of our lives

D                            G              D
One time late at night while looking at the sky

     D                                         A
They saw a shooting star burning silver and so bright

           D
Said could this here be a sign

          G               D
that it's time to go back home

       D                             A            D
'Cause even with you near me I still feel so all alone

   Bm                 A
We promised that we'd care

         G               A
for one another said his wife

D               A           D
Now and for the rest of our lives
