Michael Martin Murphey
Geronimo’s Cadillac
[Verse 1]
Put Geronimo in a jail down south
Where he couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth
Took old Geronimo by storm
Ripped off the feathers from his uniform

[Chorus]
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac

[Verse 2]
Sergeant, sergeant, oh don't you feel
There's something wrong with your automobile?
Warden, warden, oh listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Governor, governor, oh isn't it strange
You never see a car on the indian range?

[Chorus]
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
[Verse 3]
People, people, oh don't you know
The indian's got no place to go?
Jesus told me, and I believe it's true
The red man's in the sunset too
Took our land, now they won't give it back
They sent Geronimo a cadillac

[Chorus]
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac

[Outro]
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
