On the beach, within arm's reach
There's nothin' more this shore can teach
The maltreatment of the sun
You've lost a valley son

He was down with bein' done
But now he's done with bein' down
Mis maltreatment has a sound
You've lost a valley son

You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son

The engine in his heart
Gets dirty, then don't start
Man, it all just falls apart

He can't watch his other shine
As he's rottin' on the vine
This maltreatment over time
You've lost a valley son

You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
You've lost a valley son
