A song covered by Hoyt Axton in 1974 on his album "Life Machine". "Geronimo´s Cadillac" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Michael Martin Murphey then billed as Michael Murphey being the title cut of his 1972 debut album Geronimo´s Cadillac which was an A&M Records release.
Murphey was inspired to write "Geronimo´s Cadillac" by a photograph showing Apache chief Geronimo at the wheel of a luxury roadster: this photograph was reproduced as a drawing on the back album cover of Geronimo´s Cadillac and also on the picture sleeve of the single.
