The Valley Road

Sometimes I lead, sometimes I follow

This time I'll go where she wants me to go

She said maybe today, maybe tomorrow

Deep in the woods down the low valley road

While no one was lookin' on the old plantation

He took her all the way down the long valley road

They sent her away not too much later

And left him walking down the old valley road

Walk on

Walk on, walk on alone

Walk on, walk on

Walk on alone, alone

Out in the hall, they were talking in a whisper

Everybody noticed she was gone awhile

Somebody said she's gone to her sister's

Everybody knew what they were talking about

Whoa, while no one was lookin' on the old plantation

He showed her what they do down the long valley road

She came back around like nothing really happened

And left him standing on the old valley road

Walk on

Walk on, walk on alone

Walk on, walk on

Walk on, walk on, on the valley road

Standing like a stone on the old plantation

The rich old man would have never let him in

Good enough to hire, not good enough to marry

When it all happens, nobody wins

Walk on

Walk on, walk on alone

Walk on, walk on

Walk on, walk on alone, alone
