Pleasant Valley Sunday
Carole King


The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
They serenade
The weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses
That are all the same
And no one seems
To care
See Mrs. Gray
She's proud today
Because her roses are in
Bloom
And Mr. Green
He's so serene
He's got a TV
In every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain
About how hard life is
And the kids
Just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
