[Verse 1] Down in the valley Where the women are so kind They all speak so purty It just 'bout blows my mind [Verse 2] Wine, it flows like water Through the river that cuts through the town My love and I will go swimming When no one else is around [Chorus] But the thought of love gets in your skin And in your bones and it breaks you like an egg And this weight of fear falls upon you face Like Hell's spoken and it's saving you a place
[Refrain] You turn the lights off And you go lie down Upon your bed [Verse 3] Children, they are playing Silhouetted by the sun Till Mother calls for dinner And back to home they run [Verse 4] The old men on their porches Puffin' on their pipes The moment they are sleeping The next thing beggin for their life [Chorus] Turn the lights off Go lie down [Refrain]
