Shouted into the desert to no one standin’ there.
A gentle breeze touched my face like the softness of her hair.
The fragrance of Cool Water still lingered on my clothes.
She’d been taken from my arms, at gun point forced to go.

(Chorus)

 Oh, Chiquita, Chiquita.
 How dare they steal her, steal her from me!
 Oh, Chiquita, Chiquita.  I’ll find her, set her free!

Hitched a ride through Texas way down to San Antonio.
Lookin’ for my girl, I’d kissed the night before.
Wearin’ skin tight Levis, jean jacket and a cowgirl hat.
The last thing I remember someone yelled “She ain’t comin’ back.”

(Chorus)

(Bridge) I could hear her cry in the distance, arms stretched out, screaming for her life.
  I was mobilized, set to fight anyone who tried to do away her life...my wife.

Chiquita.  Chiquita.  I found her and I’ll set her free.

A blast came out of nowhere.  Blood shot up to the sky.
A man in a black coat, face to the ground, death filled his eyes.
Chiquita stood there shakin’.  I touched her as she cried.
I felt her heart pumpin’.  I thanked God she was alive.

(Chorus)
