I've been riding high, 
But I don't know why everybody wants to 
Send me down to the valley of tears.

It's a sunny day and I'm on my way 
But everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears. 

People stand in line just to hear me cry.

But everyone I choose only brings bad news.
Everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears. 
People stand in line just to hear me cry.
I wanna know what's on the other side.

I've been riding high, but I don't know why 
Cause everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.

It's a sunny bright day and I'm on my way 
But everybody wants to send me down to the valley of tears.
