Valleys from Clawing Back by Joe Sweeney

When I was young I was a mountaineer
No peak too tall, no rock face too sheer
Somehow I turned a blind eye to all the fear
But right now I’m sittin my ass right here

Look at me I got gray all in my beard
My days of taking risks are in the rearview mirror
Which means I’ve said goodbye to you my dear
Think I’ll have me another beer

Peaks are overrated
It’s cold up there and really hard to breathe
Valleys can be beautiful if you admit
They’re what you need

I’ll be feelin better by and by
The old me would be bored but I’m not that guy
Valleys still let you see the sky
And you don’t need a mountain to get high

Peaks are overrated
It’s cold up there and really hard to breathe
Valleys can be beautiful if you admit
They’re what you need

Valleys can be beautiful if you admit
They’re what you need
