Peace In The Valley

Lyrics

Pulling into Douglas on a hot October night
 On up above us, there's a moon on the rise
 Just off the blacktop there's a sign along the road
 And its a marker for the place where they got Geronimo
 For peace in the valley
 Lay down his shield
 And surrendered to the white man
 Hot on his heels
 Peace in the valley
 But, oh, Geronimo
 You can't raise up your children
 And watch them grow
 Without peace in the valley
 Down below
 He was a bona fide Indian chief
 East Arizona was his pride and keep
 Down through the Pacos they tried to take him down
 Till an hour from the border but he stopped and turned around
 And cried peace in the valley
 Lay down his shield
 And surrendered to the white man
 Hot on his heels
 Peace in the valley
 But, oh, Geronimo
 You can't raise up your children
 And watch them grow
 Without peace in the valley
 Down below
 Peace in the valley
 But, oh, Geronimo
 You can't raise up your children
 And watch them grow
 Without peace in the valley
 Down below
