Central Valley

Deep in the valley
I was raised to be a man
Great central valley
Where a man ain’t worth a damn
They cut my pay
To minimum wage

How is a family
Meant to survive on ten an hour
A wife and a baby
And a man with no power

So yes I’m guilty
But I ain’t sorry for what I done
I needed the money
More than the men I took it from
I didn’t mean
To hurt no one

So what’s gonna happen
Mister, to my wife and son
When I go to prison
I didn’t mean to hurt no one

Deep in the valley
Where the grapes of wrath are sown
Great central valley
Where the weeds are overgrown
And they burn
And they burn
