Lyrics:

B. R. Hornsby/John HornsbySometimes I lead sometimes I followThis time I'll go where she wants me to goShe said maybe today maybe tomorrowGo deep in the woods down the low valley roadWhile no one was lookin on the old plantationHe took her all the way down the long valley roadThey sent her away not too much laterAnd left him walking down the old valley roadWalk on, walk on aloneWalk on, walk on, walk on aloneOut in the hall they were talking in a whisperEverybody noticed she was gone awhileSomebody said she's gone to her sister'sBut everybody knew what they were talking aboutWhile no one was lookin on the old plantationHe showed her what they do down the long valley roadShe came back around like nothing really happenedAnd left him standing on the old valley roadWalk on, walk on aloneWalk on, walk on, walk on aloneStanding like a stone on the old plantationThe rich old man would have never let him inGood enough to hire not good enough to marryWhen it all happens nobody winsWalk on, walk on aloneWalk on, walk on, walk on alone

Bruce Hornsby The Valley Road
