lyrics

GERONIMO!

Geronimo!
Gotta let go, now you’re falling
All alone without warning.
Now who'll put you to bed and tell you
When to wake up in the morning?
Nobody but you.

You were sitting in the back row hiding,
Just waiting on the world to begin,
You were trying to look tied up;
Said you were waiting on a friend,
Ah, but no one showed--you'd already known--
Now you're too tired to pretend
That just one more day will awake some other end.
Feel it sinking in?

Now every day wanes another war
You're just a little too nice to win,
As you fight to force a meager word passed your chin.
Any friends, you'd hope, would soon learn to know
They didn't ever really know a thing,
And you'll never make a flower bloom
By squeezing the stem.
Now it's sinking in...

Geronimo!
Gotta let go, now you’re falling
All alone without warning.
Now who'll put you to bed and tell you
When to wake up in the morning?
Nobody but you.

Will you ever stop believing
You should be getting more from them?
Would you ever believe
That the fault could be on your end?
Will you ever stop fearing
That they might never be that way again?
Would you believe
They never were that way to begin?
Will you ever win?

Now, you find yourself making a new home
With every bucket of sand
As the smoke eats the stress from your lips
To the tips of your hands.
Could it be the bonds of freedom
Are just as heavy as wearing a band?
And not every chute opens, but everybody lands...
Best as they can.

Geronimo!

about

Joseph Huber Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After 7 years of hard touring and playing banjo with the influential streetgrass group, .357 String Band, Joseph Huber has found an individual voice that covers a vast range of influence. Playing all the instruments, from fiddle to harmonica to banjo to tambourine (and as many as he can at once) he amazes and entertains, but also reveals substance. His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
