Am                                         G
Pulling into Douglas on a hot October night

Just off the blacktop, there's a sign along the road

East Arizona was his pride and keep

'Til an hour from the border, he stopped and turned around

Without peace in the valley down below

Peace in the valley

And oh, Geronimo
Am                                F
You can't raise up your children, watch them grow
