Bruce Hornsby The Old Valley Road Lyrics

The Old Valley Road Lyrics

Sometimes I lead sometimes I follow
This time I'll go where she wants me to
go
She said maybe today maybe tomorrow
Go 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
alone
Walk on, walk on, walk on 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
But everybody knew what they were talking
about

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 alone
Walk on, walk on, walk on alone

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 alone
Walk on, walk on, walk on alone
