Carole King - Pleasant Valley Sunday lyrics

The local rock group down the street

Is trying hard to learn their song

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

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

Charcoal burning everywhere

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Here in status symbol land

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
