In the shadow of the valley I would like to settle down Wide open spaces, wind on my face A distant horizon, the moon on the crest In the shadow of the valley That I love best You have always waited for me And you always will be there Sagebrush and pine, old friends of mine A little bit further I will find my rest In the shadow of the valley That I love best I have wandered many places But they're all the same to me Nowhere I've found to settle down A little bit further I'll find my rest In the shadow of the valley That I love best In the shadow of the valley That I love best
