devyn brinsfield - down in the valley lyrics

Loading...

down in the valley
where the mean river flows
on top of the bedrock
lies a lake liquid gold

just north of the grapevine
south san joaquin
lies a cruel violent history
enveloped in murder and greed

well, my dad was a poor man
from old oklahom’
yeah, the dustbowl struck hard there
left him to roam

well, he heard of a valley
riches unfound
so he headed out west
in hopes he’d find gold in that ground

[chorus]
don’t spend your life chasin’ them greenbacks
that fortune and fame
’cause in the end, you’ll have nothin
it’ll all burn up in the flames
keep your heart on the ones that you love
’cause family is more than enough
’cause if there’s one thing i’ve found
stay away from that gold in the ground

well, my daddy met david
back in 1895
he was born up in oregon
where his parents had died

david left with high hopes
on a word he was told
found my dad in that valley
where they search for that black liquid gold

well, they struck a new pocket
they’d split in two
well, my dad disagreed boy
didn’t know what to do

so with a rusty old knife
know he cut david down
threw him out in that river
where he knew that he’d never be found

[chorus]
don’t spend your life chasin’ them greenbacks
that fortune and fame
’cause in the end, you’ll have nothin’
it’ll all burn up in the flames
keep your heart on the ones that you love
’cause family is more than enough
’cause if there’s one thing i’ve found
stay away from that gold in the ground

[chorus]
don’t spend your life chasin’ them greenbacks
that fortune and fame
’cause in the end, you’ll have nothin’
it’ll all burn up in the flames

keep your heart on the ones that you love
’cause family is more than enough
if there’s one thing i’ve found
stay away from that gold in the ground

’cause if there’s one thing i’ve found
stay away from that gold in the ground
