[INTRO]
[C] [G]
[VERSE]
[G]Two Apache kids in a stolen car
[G]Navigating by a falling star
Yeah[F] [C]
Where are they [G]going?
[VERSE]
[G]Towards Jerusalem Mountain, red amphetamine sunrise
[G]Mesquite, saguaro, Great Mystical Agave
Tell 'em [F]please [C]
Where are they [G]going?
[VERSE]
[G]Past the little white crosses, the highway signs
[G]Stay away from the double yellow lines
Jimmy [F]Yelloweyes [C]
Take care where you're [G]going
[VERSE]
[G]Ain't no alcohol allowed on the Reservation
[G]They're headed out in search of strong libation
Hoyah [F] [C]
They know where they're [G]going
[CHORUS]
Out where the [D]crosses of San Carlos
[C]Shine 'neath a desert moon
Near the [D]canyons where Geronimo rode
And the [C]ocotillo bloom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, [G]yeah, Hoyah [F]
Where's it all [G]going
[VERSE]
[G]Old Mexican Jaguar crossed over last night
[G]Near the Agua Priatt border town lights
Yeah, yeah, [F]yeah [C]
Where's the old man [G]going?
[VERSE]
[G]He's on the track of a deer or a Javelina hog
[G]He ain't afraid of your hunting dog
No, no, no, [F]no [C]
He knows where he's [G]going
[VERSE]
[G]And he disdains your greed, your ignorance
[G]Your razor-wire, your chain-link fence
Yeah, yeah, [F]yeah [C]
He knows where he's [G]going
[CHORUS]
Out where the [D]crosses of San Carlos
They [C]shine neath the desert moon
Near the [D]canyons where Cochise laid it down
And the [C]old agave bloom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, [G]yeah, Ha [F]
Where's it all [G]going
Hey [F]eee[C]ee
Where's it all [G]going
[BRIDGE]
Yeah, and [Em]one night when the moon[Bm] is down
We'll [C]come back on you [G]stronger
Out [Em]on these long purged[Bm] highways
We'll be [C]crucified no [D7]longer
[VERSE]
We've [G]seen it come, we'll watch it go
[G]The beer is gone, the gasoline's low
Said Jimmy [F]Yelloweyes [C]
"Hell, where are we [G]going?"
[VERSE]
"[G]Look up ahead in our high beam lights
[G]Some kind of leopard coming at us through the night
Ho, ye[F]eah [C]
Where's the old one [G]going?"
[VERSE]
[G]Maybe he's taking backing back his ancient hunting grounds
[G]Blood on the streets of the cowboy towns
Yeah, yeah, [F]yeah [C]
He knows where he's [G]going
[VERSE]
[G]Then the scream of the tires, the curse and the swerve
[G]The final war cry on the final curve
Yeah, yeah, [F]yay [C]
Where in Hell were they [G]going?
[CHORUS]
And the [D]crosses of San Carlos
Still [C]shine 'neath a desert moon
Near the [D]canyons where Geronimo rode
And the [C]ocotillo bloom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, [G]yeah, Hoyah [F]
Where's it all [G]going
Hey [F]eee[C]ee
Where is it [G]going
