The Valley of the Dudes

Clay Anderson Johnson

Verse 1

I used to live in L.A.
In the Valley of the Dudes
Sunshine in a sky of gray
With traffic that didn’t move
It was really not for me
So I found I had to go
There was so much more to see
So many places for me to know

Verse 2

I wanted to see forests of green
Overhead a sky of blue
To see what it is to be seen
To do whatever there is to do
Traveling down that highway
Moving on kinda slow
Waking at the break of day
Following the wind as it blows

Chorus

Concrete and asphalt
Cover the Valley of the Dudes
It runs on and on and on
Through the Valley of the Dudes

Verse 3

Star crossed minds try to see
A world which is not so
Disappoints run deep
Waiters dreaming being in a show
People awake but asleep
Wondering if it comes will it last
Will it ever come at all
Will you know when you’ve been past

Chorus

Concrete and asphalt
Cover the Valley of the Dudes
It runs on and on and on
Through the Valley of the Dudes
