Ryan Adams | Lyrics | Peaceful Valley

Lord, take me home to the peaceful valley
Down the winding rivers the city of souls
I've grown so tired and my heart's too heavy
To walk any longer to your cities of gold

All my life, I've longed for forgiveness
But I can never seem to get enough
All my life, I've been rocked into the darkness
With a gun to my head

Trying to find a peaceful song
Trying to find a peaceful song
To sing when everything goes wrong
Till the peaceful valley calls me home

Up there in the clouds, in that glorious kingdom
Tell me, there ain't nothin' but an easy decline
Can I still smoke cigarettes and have my coffee
Up there in heaven and a bottle of wine?

All my life, I've been lost out in the darkness
But I can never seem to get enough
All my life, I've been locked into the darkness
With a gun to my head

Trying to find a peaceful song
Trying to find a peaceful song
To sing when everything goes wrong
Till the peaceful valley calls me home

Oh, take me home to the peaceful valley
Down the winding rivers to the city of gold
