in the valley

lyrics

Manifesting destiny one morning awoke on Cali’s shore
To a big flashlight and somebody pounding on my passenger door
It chanced to be a police officer wondering where I’m from
And If i fail to show my drivers license he’ll have to draw his gun

He said go back to the valley that borned you
Go back to the valley you walk alone to
Cambria county don’t need one more broken man

So I thought I’d test my luck a little northern coast to rest
Amongst the pears and plums aplenty Oregon should know best
But alas I was sorely mistaken they were kicking everyone out
The election came and now they’re yelling go back to the south

They say go back to the valley that borned you
Go back to the valley you walk alone to
Parkdale county don’t need one more broken man

So my friends my family my foes a plenty this story that I tell
A simple song of the many and how we’ve come to dwell
See the tired the poor the huddled masses no place to call their own
So they wander wishing moss would gather on a rolling stone

I’m going back to the valley that borned me
I’m going back god damn the salt salt sea
I hope vernon county could use one more broken man
