Text: Solomon Burke. Nashville. Valley Of Tears.

I've been riding high, but i don't know why everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.It's a sunny day and i'm on my way but everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.

People stand in line just to hear me cry.I wanna know the other side
but everyone i choose only brings bad news.Everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
People stand in line just to hear me cry.I wanna know what's on the other side.


I've been riding high, but i don't know why cause everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.It's a sunny bright day and i'm on my way but everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
