lyrics
Paradise Valley (Martini)
Haven't slept and I haven't ate.
Doin’ nothing but driving straight.
Those eastbound headlights twinkle in our eyes.
Town from town, pass tree by tree.
Refreshing it resides in me.
Farewell to the sea as she waves goodbye.
Here this valley of Paradise,
easily our strongest vice,
we'd do the time if it were a crime.
When it comes time for bed,
the dirt is where we'll lie our heads
because the skies they'd never cheat you for a dime.
Better get there by the time we see the shadow of the hill
take away a perfect day.
Gotta drive fast on this crooked road to feel a vacant thrill
make delay of our way.
The sun it sets like a ton of bricks.
When you got no lights on the '86,
chasing daylight, race to make the show.
Broke on down in Kennewick.
Time was slow but now she ticks.
Flatline Tow make that Dream Machine go!
Wildflour, river runs.
Meet Mr. Johnson and three sons,
Chopper, Bull and his mando too.
Pick your weapon of sound delight.
The limit here there is no height.
Pickaxe, paddleboard – which do you choose?
Montana... now you give me peace and you give me hope
for a brighter view through these eyes.
Now you’ve given me more than I could know:
The wind, the water, sun, sand, and snow.
Haven't slept and I haven't ate.
Doin’ nothing but driving straight.
Those eastbound headlights twinkle in our eyes.
Town from town, pass tree by tree.
Refreshing it resides in me.
Farewell to the sea as she waves goodbye.
Here this valley of Paradise,
easily our strongest vice,
we'd do the time if it were a crime.
When it comes time for bed,
the dirt is where we'll lie our heads
because the skies they'd never cheat you for a dime.
Better get there by the time we see the shadow of the hill
take away a perfect day.
Gotta drive fast on this crooked road to feel a vacant thrill
make delay of our way.
The sun it sets like a ton of bricks.
When you got no lights on the '86,
chasing daylight, race to make the show.
Broke on down in Kennewick.
Time was slow but now she ticks.
Flatline Tow make that Dream Machine go!
Wildflour, river runs.
Meet Mr. Johnson and three sons,
Chopper, Bull and his mando too.
Pick your weapon of sound delight.
The limit here there is no height.
Pickaxe, paddleboard – which do you choose?
Montana... now you give me peace and you give me hope
for a brighter view through these eyes.
Now you’ve given me more than I could know:
The wind, the water, sun, sand, and snow.
