rd Fret Intro: They talk of getting out of the valley Out of the valley here below Maybe ride the river and run off 'Cause there's no place left to go They talk of taking the sunshine Taking their bright eyes away Maybe make a move for the big time Watch it get harder every day They're told by the same empty faces Talk, like dreams, don't get you far Maybe make it over the mountains But you'll never make it in that car They talk of getting out of the valley You're set to make yourself a name Quit, come back soon and you'll marry Part of your fortune to your shame Bridge: Ambition lights their cigarettes If they get out, they don't look back, hmm, hmm, hmm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm It's ten deserve and one who gets So drink too much and dress in black Ahh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh Ahh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh You listen in the bars and the alleys You hear the fear under their voice No one out there owes you a living No one here gives you any choice They talk of getting out of the valley And for some it's not too late You need a meanness to carry on Cast the master of your fate Until long after it matters You don't know if you're good enough You can bet your dreams will be battered So just go after what you love Bridge: They talk of getting out of town This little city made of steel, Ahh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh Take a giant step and don't look down Because I do know how you feel Ahh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh Ahh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh They talk of getting out of the valley Out of the valley here below Maybe ride the river and run off 'Cause there's no place left to go OUTRO: (4x and fade to end)
