[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
IBmsabel and her brown skin shined like a sapphire in the summer Gsun
The pride and jDoy of a Mexican lawman who lived by the Agun
He got cBmross ways with the cartel they shot down his only son GJose
So in fDear of his daughter's life he packed their bags and late Aone night she heard him say
[Chorus]
I heaGr the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border Bmline
They say Afreedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria BmwineBm  A  
South TGexas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living Bmhell
So come Aon let's cross that Rio, the coast is clear IGsabel
The coast is clear IBmsabelBm  A  
[Verse 2]
They cBmame across our homestead tired and hungry, cold and moving sGlow
We had feDnce to build a warm place to stay and they had nowhere to Ago
So I worked Bmcattle with her father we were stretching wire and driving post all dGay
While Isabel wDorked with my mother and late at night I held her tigAht and she'd take my breath away
[Chorus]
I heaGr the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border Bmline
They say Afreedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria BmwineBm  A  
South TGexas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living Bmhell
So come Aon let's cross that Rio, the coast is clear IGsabel
The coast is clear IBmsabelBm  A  
[Solo]
Bm G D A
[Verse 3]
The sheriff Bmcame across her father they treated him like an outlaw on the Grun
And Isabel now wDears my diamond and that little boy she holds is my Ason
We got a green cBmard for her father Mariano but it came two years too Glate
We got word tDhat he'd been gunned down in a border town shot in the bAack
The last thing they heard him say
[Outro]
I Ghear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo bordeBmr line
And they saAy that freedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria wBmineBm  A  
South TGexas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living Bmhell
So come oAn let's cross that Rio, the coast is clear IsGabel
The coast is clear IGsabel
The coast is clear IGsabel
Clear IBmsabel
