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
