Inside the guitar there's a good vibration
I'm not really sure where it's from
Playing in the band is a sweet sensation
The feeling will naturally come
It was like a river glorious
Like blood rushing to my head
I took in the sounds of the forest
I listened to what the man said
When dawn turns the night into day
You're tired and you've lost the way
Look down to the valley below
Hear the sound of the music grow
And it comes from within the heart
Every sad harmony part
Then it shifts into overdrive
When the music comes alive
I took what I heard and I wrote it all down
I remembered what I had learned
He robbed that king of his golden crown
And the forest was totally burned
I took my music from the mines of Kentucky
To the California coast
I made it there safely, I guess I was lucky
Coming back to the place I loved most
When dawn turns the night into day
You're tired and you've lost the way
Look down to the valley below
Hear the sound of the music grow
And it comes from within the heart
Every sad harmony part
Then it shifts into overdrive
When the music comes alive
When dawn turns the night into day
You're tired and you've lost the way
Look down to the valley below
Hear the sound of the music grow
And it comes from within the heart
Every sad harmony part
Then it shifts into overdrive
When the music comes alive
I thought I heard a sweet bluebird singing
A tale that was full of despair
In the rain a distant bell was ringing
The cold, iron sound was everywhere
The freight train rolls across the countryside
As the eagle begins to take flight
I'm leaving Texas on the Fourth of July
And the music will soar to new heights
When dawn turns the night into day
You're tired and you've lost the way
Look down to the valley below
Hear the sound of the music grow
And it comes from within the heart
Every sad harmony part
Then it shifts into overdrive
When the music comes alive
