Geronimo

Summer wind across the prairie, blows the sand into my teeth
Tombstone's a good four days behind me
Twelve more miles to Turkey Creek
I pass to run down a temple made to stone
There ain't no cloud in the sky, I'm all alone
I'm a stranger here and there's danger near, 'cause

Geronimo is right behind me
He can ride longer without water than I can
This Arizona sun's about to blind me
Here's where we see if I'm a man

Too many hours in the saddle is cuttin' through me like a knife
I wish there was some way I could tell him
That I did not take his best friend's life
But to him I'm as guilty as they come
So it was either wait around to die or run
I'm a young man, so I up and ran, now

Geronimo is right behind me
He can ride longer without water than I can
This Arizona sun's about to blind me
Here's where we see if I'm a man

I stop to get a drink of water and cool down
There ain't a sign of Geronimo around
Well I wipe the sweat and the dirt off of my brow
From the mountain side an apache cry, damn

Geronimo is right behind me
He can ride longer without water than I can
This Arizona sun's about to blind me
Here's where we see if I'm a man
