Valerie Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

© Rumble Doll Music (ASCAP) 

To the east the factories stand 

Like fire breathing dragons against the sky 

And from their throats a scarlet river 

Burns itself into smoky lullabies 

Over neon and fluorescent skies 

Valerie can you hear those engines drone 

I wanted to go to Mexico 

But I'm stranded here alone 

And once I knew a true love 

It's been three years since he's gone 

And if I could get that feeling back 

I'd give up everything I own

Sixteen days since I left Corona 

And I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel 

And I rode the coaster there on the fairground 

Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals 

And I left some skin on fortune's wheel 

Valerie can you hear those engines drone 

I wanted to go to Mexico 

But I'm stranded here alone 

And once I knew a true love 

It's been three years since he's gone 

And if I could get that feeling back 

I'd give up everything I own 

Everything's in slow motion now 

In this little border town 

I've come so close from so far 

Just to hide behind these windows here 

From the world outside 

I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust 

Down the road as they pass by

Valerie can you hear those engines drone 

I wanted to go to Mexico 

But I'm stranded here alone 

And once I knew a true love 

It's been three years since he's gone 

And if I could get that feeling back 

I'd give up everything I own 

Everything I own 

Everything I own
