No Peace in the Valley
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
With a stock on your shoulder
You're a coward at best
Trying to fix a fortune
Just like the rest
We all saw your wife
Just a fucking mess
Judge and jury
And a time to confess
You seem misguided
Are you to blame?
Where the hell you from, boy?
Hope you got good aim
Are you looking deep inside?
Now I'll play your game
You wanna beat my ass
In the pouring rain
Oh mama
Well dust my broom
Can't see the starts from the light of the moon
Heard the wolves cry
No peace in the valley
Lay down your gilded shovel
Your soiled hands
We walk that valley road because we can
We'll pick the pieces
Now that's a plan
Look at you leaning
You can hardly stand
Oh mama
Well dust my broom
Can't see the starts from the light of the moon
Heard the wolves cry
No peace in the valley
There's a cast of vultures in a cottonwood
Watching your retreat
The sun warms the canyon halls
In time the coyotes call
The sun warms those canyon walls
It's time to retire and turn you down
What the hell you talking?
Why you come around?
You can't concede at the lost and found
Tell me more now
Are you heaven bound
Oh mama
Well dust my broom
Can't see the starts from the light of the moon
Heard the wolves cry
No peace in the valley
