lyrics

GERONIMO
(Strider/Getz)
It was early Sunday morning
When Geronimo arose
There came a Pack of desert rats
A whole regiment of Crows

The buzzards circled endlessly
The Winds began to dance
(He) Took out a wooden Nickel
Put it in the Nickleodeon

Got to Ride On
Got to Ride on, Got to Ride On
While the Dawn breaks
Got to Ride On
Got to Ride on, Got to Ride On
While my Heart aches
‘Til my Brothers awake
In the light of Dawn
Geronimo!___

He thought he saw a Shadow
by the white adobe walls
But it vanished in a Cloud of gopher dust
There was no one there at all___

He sang an Ancient battle hymn
Stood there all alone
Cried himself a river
Hitched a ride on a River boat

Got to Ride On
Got to Ride on, Got to Ride On
While the Dawn breaks
Got to Ride On
Got to Ride on, Got to Ride On
While my Heart aches
‘Til my Brothers awake
In the light of Dawn
Geronimo!___

(Instrumental solo: digital piano - Jon Strider)

The old man lit the Peace Pipe
He began to close his eyes
Weightless feeling in his limbs
He Dreamed that he could Fly

But he heard of Voice of Reason
And collecting all this Thoughts
He came to the conclusion
The Kingdom had been Lost

Got to Ride On
Got to Ride on, Got to Ride On
While the Dawn breaks
Got to Ride On
Got to Ride on, Got to Ride On
While my Heart aches
‘Til my Brothers awake
In the light of Dawn
Geronimo!___

Got to ride on, got to ride on, got to ride on
Got to ride on, got to ride on, got to ride on
Geronimo
Got to ride on, got to ride on, got to ride on
Got to ride on, got to ride on, got to ride on
