Sadie I love it

Death Valley ’69

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

I didn’t wanna

But she started to holler

So I had to 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 yr mouth]

And you got sun in yr 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

And I started to hit it [Hit it]

Hit it

Coming down

Sadie I love it

Now now now
