BIG VALLEY

I was born in the BaySide city

I thought I knew and had it all

Then one day, we moved from the pretty

Over brown hills, into Big Valley

One hundred times, I died in the summer

Ten thousand times, the fog hemmed me in

But over these years, I’ll tell ya city cousin

I’m never leavin’ my Big Valley

BR: They ask me when I call, what valley you hailin’ from?

I like to say, the one that feeds your son

You see some of us have real nice cars, fancy houses too

But most of us are regular folk livin’ our lives like you, but…

CH: We still see cows in the pasture

Our kids play barefoot in the fields

We’re the breadbasket of this country

Yeah Big Valley’s sittin’ right here

So now when the heat is doin a killin

I pack my suit up, jump in the lake

When the fog is diggin me a six footer

Well I start a fire and stay up late

See those corn fields wavin in the breezes

Well I’ll tell ya “shhhhh” they’re still growin

Golden grasses dancin on the hilltops

I tell ya Big Sky ain’t got nothin on me

Never leavin my Big Valley

Till the Lord come and take me gone

In a chariot of golden fire

‘Cause when I leave here I’m goin home

When I leave here I’m goin home

When I leave here…I’m goin home…

(extra verse)

In many years, I'll be an old woman

Watchin' my babies' babies play

Runnin' wild, down a road less travelled  - yes!

Runnin' free in the fields of God 

KISSES DAY AND NIGHT

I don’t want you to father my children

I ain’t askin you to be my wedded man

I don’t even want your money honey

But listen to me now try to understand

CH: Kisses in the morning

Kisses at noon time

Kisses in the shadows of the moonlight

Kisses day and night

I ain’t wishin on a falling star

I just want you to be who you are

Don’t try to tell me that this isn’t love

‘Cause darling you’re what I dream of

Give me your…

BR: If I ask you too many questions

If I sing you a sweet lullaby

It’s because I, well I really love you

And I want to spend my time - givin you…
