Valley Of Tears
I’ve been riding high, but i don’t know why
everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
It’s a sunny day and i’m on my way but everybody
wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
People stand in line just to hear me cry.
I wanna know the other side
but everyone i choose only brings bad news.
Everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
People stand in line just to hear me cry.
I wanna know what’s on the other side.
I’ve been riding high, but i don’t know why cause
everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
It’s a sunny bright day and i’m on my way but
everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
