Gila Headwaters Songtext
von Tim O’Brien

Drove all day and the next day
Out to old New Mexico
Took the trail of the mountain spirit
To the home of Geronimo

Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow

It′s a long way up the mountain
You will find an oasis there
You can soak in the healing water
You can breathe fresh mountain air

Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow

Lay your body down in the bosom
Of your holy mother Earth
Roll in the four directions
On the place of Geronimo's birth


Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow

The medicine woman, she told him
"When you get there, you will dance
To the beat of your red paint people
When you hear it, just give it a chance"

Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow

The wind blows up the canyon
The sun guides me where I go
I′m gonna roll in the four directions
Where the Gila headwaters flow

Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow
Where the Gila headwaters flow
