Down In The Valley Lyrics - 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 

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 

We do it over and over and over again 

Oh-oh 

Oh-oh 

Oh-oh-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 

These are the places I will always go 

I am on my way 

I am on my way 

I am on my way back to where I started

(Continue in background) 

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

I am on my way 

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 

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
