Solomon Burke, Gillian Welch - Valley of Tears lyrics

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, oh, oh, oh, oh
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
Listen, let me tell ya

Now, I've been riding high
But I don't know why 'Cause every
Everybody wants to send me down
To the valley of tears mmm, let me tell ya
It's a sunny bright day and I'm on my way
But everybody wants to send me down
To the valley of tears

I need somebody to help me sing the song
Come on, everybody
Everybody wants to send me down
To the valley of tears
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Cryin' out y'all
Everybody wants to send me down
Down to the valley of tears
Let's just sing it one more time
Somebody that's crying tonight
Everybody wants to send me down
To the valley of tears
I can't help myself, I wanna say it again
Say it real sweet like you love it
Everybody wants to send me down
To the valley of tears
Everybody wants to send me down
To the valley of tears
