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
