I'm from San Benito, TexasDown that dirty dusty roadThere was sugarcane and cottonAnd I used to watch it growThen we moved up to DallasI remember I was youngI learned about the dollarLooked down the barrel of a gunIf you ask me where I'm goingI can't tell you 'cause I don't knowBut in my mind I see the valleyYou should see the way it glowsMy daddy didn't know meMy brother rolled the diceMy mama kept on workingAnd my sister paid a priceDarkness stood surround meTrouble everywhere I turned'Til one day I started walkingEverything I've got I earnedIf you ask me where I'm goingI can't tell you 'cause I don't knowBut in my mind I see the valleyYou should see the way it glowsAnd now you know my storyI bet you got one like it tooMay your curse become a blessingThere ain't nothing else to do
