Death Valley ’69 Lyrics

[Chorus]
Coming down
Sadie, I love it
Now, now, now
Death valley '69

You're right, you're right
You're right, you're right
You're right (You were right)
I was on the wrong track
We're deep in the valley
How deep in the gulley
And now in the canyon
Way out in the yonder
She started to holler
She started to holler
I didn't wanna, I didn't wanna
I didn't wanna, I didn't wanna
But she started to holler
So I had to hit it
Hit it, hit it, hit it

Deep in the valley
In the trunk of an old car
In the back of a Chevy
I got sand in my mouth (You got sand in your mouth)
And you got sun in your eyes (I got sun in my eyes)
Blinded, and you wanted to get there
But I couldn't go faster (I wanted to get there)
And it couldn't go faster (But you couldn't go faster)
So I started to hit it (You couldn't go faster)
So I started to hit it
I started to hit it
Hit it, hit it
Hit it, hit it
Hit it, hit it, hit it

[Chorus]
Coming down
Sadie, I love it
Now, now, now
Death valley '69

Death valley '69
Death valley '69
Death valley '69
