john gorka - out of the valley lyrics
they talk of getting out of the valley
out of the valley here below
maybe ride the river and run off
’cause there’s no place left to go
they talk of taking the sunshine
taking their bright eyes away
maybe make a move for the big time
watch it get harder every day
they’re told by the same empty faces
talk like dreams don’t get you far
maybe make it over the mountains
but you’ll never make it in that car
they talk of getting out of the valley
you’re set to make yourself a name
quit, come back soon and you’ll marry
part of your fortune to your shame
ambition lights their cigarettes
if they get out they don’t look back
it’s ten deserve and one who gets
so drink too much and dress in black
you listen in the bars and the alleys
you hear the fear under their voice
no one out there owes you a living
no one here here gives you any choice
they talk of getting out of the valley
and for some it’s not too late
you need a meanness to carry on
cast the master of your fate
until long after it matters
you don’t know if you’re good enough
you can bet your dreams will be battered
so just go after what you love
they talk of getting out of town
this little city made of steel
take a giant step and don’t look down
because i do know how you feel
they talk of getting out of the valley
out of the valley here below
maybe ride the river and run off
’cause there’s no place left to go
