E F# B
[Verse 1]
B
I'm from San Benito, Texas
E
Down a dirty dusty road
F#
There was sugarcane and cotton
B
How I used to watch it grow
Then we moved up to Dallas
E
I remember I was young
F#
I learned about the dollar
B
Looked down the barrel of a gun
[Chorus]
E
If you ask me where I'm going
B
I can't tell ya, 'cause I don't know
E
But in my mind I see the valley
F# B
You should see the way it glows
[Verse 2]
B
My daddy didn't know me
E
My brother rolled the dice
F#
My mama kept on working
B
And my sister paid a price
Darkness did surround me
E
Trouble everywhere I turned
F#
Then one day I started walking
B
Everything I've got, I earned
[Chorus]
E
If you ask me where I'm going
B
I can't tell ya, 'cause I don't know
E
But in my mind I see the valley
F# B
You should see the way it glows
[Verse 3]
B
Now you know my story
E
I bet you got one like it too
F#
May your curse become a blessing
B
There ain't nothing else to do
