Fort Apache

The smoke it rises from the ashes / The street it glistens We might just get away. We might just get away. They say one spark and a little breath on it It rises to the rafters in a blaze. The rafters in a blaze They say that small fires come to big fires, so they say. My fear is wilted / has not been grounded You leave me to it. Too scared to be alone. Too scared to be alone Stuck in this two-horse town / I’m too scared to leave it alone. It ain’t no different out there. You got it all here & don’t have a care Out west you ain’t got a friend who will fight to the bone Ain’t a friend for you out there. There ain’t no freight yard. No California. No one around us left in this whole damn world. This whole damn world Now this is your world brother, call it what you will. My man Roy Rogers / That Shirley Temple They shine the silver that blazes on the screen. blazes on the screen. This is my town now and Fort Apache is what I deem.
