Big Valley - Rachel Rivero

Big Valley Lyrics

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
