Peace in the Valley

There's been peace in the valley

Honey, since you been gone

Nobody wants to party

Stay out all night long

I don't mind talkin' to myself

But I can't stand drinkin' alone

Nothin' but peace in the valley

When you gonna come back home?

Well, we used to get it goin' in the afternoon

And rock it all around the clock

And now I'm up with the chickens every mornin'

Even thinkin' 'bout gettin' a job

And we all read your postcard, honey

Everybody wishes you well

All them good times we used to have

Well, that's all gone to hell

There's been peace in the valley

Honey, since you been gone

Nobody wants to party

Stay out all night long

I don't mind talkin' to myself

But I can't stand drinkin' alone

There's peace in the valley

When you gonna come back home?

The bartender down at the Gold Rush

Is sittin' there and waitin' door to door

And talkin' 'bout the boys that made all that noise

That don't come around no more

Police are drinkin' coffee

Standin' at that one-way light

Before the sun goes all the way down

The whole town is closed up tight

There's been peace in the valley

Honey, since you been gone

Nobody wants to party

Stay out all night long

I don't mind talkin' to myself

But I can't stand drinkin' alone

Nothin' but peace in the valley

When you gonna come back home?

There's peace in the valley

When you gonna come back home?
