Pride of the Valley

lyrics

Take your guitar and play another winner
For the folks who came out to see you
Half of whom would rather be elsewhere
And half of whom would rather be you
Miniature engine whimpers to life and stalls in the alley
All this and more monitored by the Pride of the Valley

School is out
They're tying their boots and racing out into the snow
Radio plays to an overcast sky
By moonlight you walk to the glow
Helmets gleam and clash in the lights
A fourth-quarter rally
All this and more monitored by the Pride of the Valley

Sticks are all wet, leaves on the ground
Takes air to make fire and wood
Open the hatch
Smoke turns to flame
How many centuries it stood
Ships are sailing with containers of gold
And crumbs in the galley
All this and more monitored by the Pride of the Valley

Trucks are en route
Unaware of the name of the street which they currently roll down
They hold on their backs important deliveries
For some other important town
Take a right at the blinking yellow light
The interstate rally
All this and more monitored by the Pride of the Valley
