Crosses Of San Carlos - Tom Russell

Two Apache kids

In a stolen car

Navigatin by a fallin star… yeah

Where are they goin?

Towards Jerusalem Mountain

Red amphetamine sunrise

Mesquite

Saguarro

Great Mystical Agave

Tell 'em please

Where are they goin?

Past the little white crosses

The Highway signs

Stay away from the double yellow lines

Jimmy Yelloweyes

Take care where youre goin

Ain’t no alcohol allowed on the Reservation

They’re headed out in search of strong libation

Hoyah!

They know where they’re goin!

Out where the crosses of San Carlos

Shine 'neath a desert moon

Near the canyons where Geronimo rode

And the ocatillo blooms

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Hoyah

Wheres it all going

Old Mexican Jaguar crossed over last night

Near the Agua Priatt

Border town lights

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Wheres the old man goin?

He’s on the track of a deer

Or a Javalina hog

And he ain’t afraid of your huntin dog

No no no no

He knows where he’s goin

And he disdains your greed

Your ignorance

Your razorwire

Your chain llnk fence

Yeah yeah yeah

He knows where he’s going

Out where the crosses of San Carlos

They shine neath the desert moon

Near the canyons where Cochise laid it down

And the old agave bloom

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Ha

Wheres it all goin

Hey eeee

Wheres it all goin

Yeah and one night when the moon is down

We’ll come back on you stronger

Out on these long purged highways

We’ll be crucified no longer

We seen it come

We’ll watch it go

The beer is gone

The gasoline’s low

Said Jimmy Yelloweyes

«Hell, where are we goin?»

Look up ahead in our high beam lights

Some kind of leopard

Comin at us through the night

Ho, yeeah

Where’s the old one going?

Maybe he’s taking backing back his ancient huntin grounds

Blood on the streets of the cowboy towns

Yeah Yeah Yeah

He knows where he’s going

Then the scream of the tires

The curse and the swerve

The final war cry on the final curve

Yeah Yeah Yay

Where the Hell where they goin?

Out where the crosses of San Carlos

Still shine 'neath a desert moon

Near the canyons where Geronimo rode

And the ocatillo blooms

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Hoyah

Wheres it all going?

Hey eeee where is it goin?

Hey eeee Hoya!

Heyeee…
