Oh, I'm packin' my grip and I'm leavin' today   'Cause I'm takin' a trip, California way   I'm gonna settle down and never more roam   And make the San Fernando Valley my home      I'll forget my sins, yes, yes, I'll be makin' new friends   Where the West begins and the sunset ends   'Cause I've decided where yours truly really oughta be   And it's the San Fernando Valley for me      I think that I'm safe in statin', she will be waitin'   When my lonely journey is done   And kindly old Reverend Thomas made us a promise   He will make the two of us one      So, I'm hittin' the trail to the cow country   You can forward my mail, care of R.F.D.   I'm gonna settle down and never more roam   And make the San Fernando Valley my home      I think that I'm safe in statin', she's gonna be waitin'   When my lonely journey is done   And kindly old Reverend Thomas made us a promise   He will make the two of us one      So, I'm hittin' the trail to the cow country   You can forward my mail, care of R.F.D.   I'm gonna settle down and never more roam   And make the San Fernando Valley my home      And make the San Fernando Valley my home   And make the San Fernando Valley my home
