Well San Fernando you’ve been mighty fine to me
My first love lived right off hazeltine
Smoked my first cigarette under the 101
It’s time to leave although it’s been fun

Van nuys boulevard will just be a memory
My heart belongs to the valley
To the kids that I grew up with and to all my family
My heart belongs to the valley

I was getting high in my car on victory
Police caught me off guard and then they looked the other way
I took the yellow bus to school in west LA
And all them city kids used to look at me funny

Van nuys boulevard will just be a memory
My heart belongs to the valley
To the kids that I grew up with and to all my family
My heart belongs to the valley

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Well I wished that I was taller growing up in public school
Dyed my hair every color to add to the ridicule
And I moved to Hollywood where I turned 18
And when I packed my bags here’s the words that I would sing

Van nuys boulevard will just be a memory
My heart belongs to the valley
To the kids that I grew up with and to all my family
My heart belongs to the valley
My heart belongs to the valley
My heart belongs to the valley
My heart belongs to the valley
