VERSE 2
I made it to the ghost town of Hachita
I got drunk in the Hachita General store
I passed the place Geronimo surrendered
Well Geronimo he just couldn't take it anymore
I'll hitchhike from Columbus to El Paso
Where I can catch an Amtrak or a freight
I've walked 300 miles across these badlands
yeah buddy I have made my great escape
Chorus
solo out D G D F# Bm G D Bm E A D
