The Valley

I'm From San Benito,Texas Down a dirty dusty road There was sugarcane and cotton How I used to watch it grow Then we moved up to Dallas I remember I was young I learned about the dollar Looked down the barrel of a gun If you ask me where I'm going I can't tell ya cuz I don't know But in my mind I see the valley You should see the way it glows My daddy didn't know me My brother rolled the dice My mama kept on working And my sister paid a price Darkness did surround me Trouble everywhere I turned Then one day I started walking Everything I've got I earned If you ask me where I'm going I can't tell ya cuz I don't know But in my mind I see the valley You should see the way it glows Now you know my story I bet you got one like it too May your curse become a blessing There ain't nothing else to do
