Hard times in the valley

Hard times in the valley - McMurrian2018 Come you ladies and you gentlemen listen to my song You may think it's right Or maybe I got it all wrong It’s about a little town That you don't know very well It used to have a big river but now it's dry as hell It's s hard times in the valley East of Angel town Look at all the flowers Is what she used to say Now she prays for rain A dark cloudy day To wash away her troubles From the yard where they used to play All those little dreams Swept far away It's s hard times in the valley East of Angel town Great grandfather bones And the devil's got our home Dust is on the table And rust is waiting on the phone A little bit of rain Would shine brighter than gold Tell ya If I was a dove I'd lead us all home It's s hard times in the valley East of Angel town One day it just stopped The well had run dry My brother he got sick And she changed on that day he died We can't bury him here no The wind will blow him away Tell me How will somebody else Think about this place some day It's s hard times in the valley East of Angel town So it's over the hills and down the wrong way she moved into a room where she still waits today Shes is Staring out the window Out to the concrete yard I'd go and see her there but it's too too damn hard It's s hard times in the valley East of Angel town
