Here are the lyrics, Primarily used BiB, vice Real band on this, seemed easier

We were playing a set
in a little cafe
We had a four piece band
and sounded okay
all of our intentions were good
we never broke any laws

An inspiration came
in the twinkling of an eye
got a text from a friend
who was passing by
it said I'll meet you down
in the Valley of the Dolls

We packed up our van
with guitars and such
we wrote a song or two
just to give it that touch
hit the interstate heading west
from Arkansas

By the time we gassed up
in Barstow California
There was nothing but desert
let me warn you
on the way down to the Valley of the Dolls

Chorus
well it was smoke and fog
all the way to the bottom
if they could raise a middle finger boy
I tell you we got 'em
Our great expectations were looking
kind of small

we finally rode around in hollywood
saw capitol records, thought maybe we could
get a good deal down in the Valley of the Dolls

We played our songs every chance we could
not a single time around hollywood
the outside of capitol records
was all we saw
we figured Guy Clark had a better plan
so we took that LA Freeway to the promised land
and left our dreams in the Valley of the DOlls

CHorus
Well it was smoke and fog all way to the bottom
if they could raise a middle finger
I think we gottem
our great expectations were looking kind of small

We decided Guy Clark had a better plan
so we took that freeway out to the promised land
and left our Dreams in the Valley of the Dolls

We decided Guy Clark had a better plan
so we took that freeway out to the promised land
and left our Dreams in the Valley of the Dolls
