Lyrics
THEY CALL IT DEATH VALLEY
YES THEY CALL IT DEATH VALLEY
BUT THE VALLEY?S NOT DEAD
IT?S A NATURAL TREASURE
A LIVING PAGEANT OF WONDERMENT INSTEAD
FROM THE TIME THE SUN RISES
TILL THE GLITTERING STARLIGHT WHEN IT SETS
IT?S A LAND OF SURPRISES
JUST AS GOOD AS IT GETS
VERDANT SPRING-FED OASES
RAINBOW CANYONS AGLOW
MAGIC SNOW-DUSTED MOUNTAINS
IN A MIND-BENDING, NEVER ENDING SHOW
DOWN IN BADWATER VALLEY
IS THE CONTINENT?S VERY LOWEST SPOT
WHERE IT?S TRUE THAT IN SUMMER
IT CAN GET KIND OF HOT
SUDDEN WIND-DRIVEN SANDSTORMS
HAUNTING COYOTES CRY
CLOUDS? DRAMATIC FORMATIONS
SAIL ALONG IN AN AZURE COLORED SKY
WHAT MAGNIFICENT BLESSINGS
HOW CAN WE EVER MEASURE WHAT IT?S WORTH
DON?T CALL IT DEATH VALLEY
CALL IT HEAVEN ON EARTH
