Geronimo

Billy Ray Cyrus

Oh what you feel!



It was a wildcat of a hot night

The stars were rippin' holes in the sky

The crickets in the thickest click quicker every minute

Poppin' like a fourth of July

On a tall point pony in a bolt of white light

Rode a fire eyed medicine man

He said,"My name is Jerome and you're standin' in my home"

Haunting was a song that he sang



He said,"Your bad dreams spinnin' in my mama's head

You strapped the foul breathed wolf to her back

You ride a steel horse racin' toward a rainbow end

While her seas and her rivers run black"

He said,"Look what you done to her native son

Buddy look what you did to her skies

You trap her power and her glory in your company funds

But your prophets only make me cry"



He said,"The moon had to jump to get over

I was cheated and beat but I never denied

The sun's my daddy and the earth is my mama

Wearin' ghosts you made my tribe and my bride

Their prayers filled my ears as they fell

Then you drag me through the gutter 'til it hurts like hell

But if you think I look bad

Baby,better check out yourself"



What you feel!



He said,"Boy you can't you see that you're part of the planet

No less or more then the sea or the granite

She tries to give you all her love

Still you just want to ride her

What will you give for her you last cup of water

What kind of price will you put on your brother

What are the secrets of your soul she's keeping

Deep down inside her"
