Down in the Valley

by The Head and the Hearton The Head and the Heart

I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade

Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink too many

Call it pride of a man

But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin

Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin

We do it over and over and over again

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh

I know there's California, Oklahoma

And all of the places I ain't ever been to but

Down in the valley with

Whiskey rivers

These are the places you will find me hidin'

These are the places I will always go

I am on my way

I am on my way back to where I started

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh

One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls

I saw your face, I heard you callin' out

I saw your face in the crowd and you came out

Just like the sun and the moon and the stars at night

There was a sign on the door and it reads to me

Just like the sun and the moon and the stars at night

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh

I am on my way

I am on my way back to where I started

California, Oklahoma

And all of the places I ain't ever been to but

Down in the valley with

Whiskey rivers

These are the places you will find me hidin'

These are the places I will always go

So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
