gillian welch - peace in the valley lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
pulling into douglas on a hot october night
dawn up above us, and there’s a moon on the right
just off the blacktop, there’s a sign along the road
it’s a marker for the place where they got geronimo

[pre+chorus]
for peace in the valley, lay down his shield
and surrendered to the white man hot on his heels

[chorus]
peace in the valley
but oh, geronimo
you can’t raise up your children, watch them grow
without peace in the valley down below

[verse 2]
he was a bonafide indian chief
east arizona was his pride and keep
down through the pecos, they tried to take him down
’til an hour from the border, he stopped and turned around

[pre+chorus]
he cried “peace in the valley!”, lay down his shield
and surrendered to the white man hot on his heels
[chorus x2]
peace in the valley
but oh, geronimo
you can’t raise up your children, watch them grow
without peace in the valley down below

peace in the valley
and oh, geronimo
you can’t raise up your children, watch them grow
without peace in the valley down below
