Puscifer – Green Valley Lyrics 13 years ago
I also agree with bradster21... However, as is with all of maynard's lyrics, they can be interoperated in many ways by the individual listener. I think this song can also be viewed as a man finding love with a woman and that their journey together all rests in her hands.

"Hello stranger can you tell us where you've been?
More importantly however did you come to be here?
Though a stranger you can rest here for awhile"

The man is a stranger to the woman but she is intrigued and approving of him staying for a while.

"But save your energy your journey here is far from over
Come the sunrise we'll descend through judgement valley
And weigh your worth before her majesty the Verde River"

Although the man is granted to stay with the woman for now, He must save his energy if he wants to continue his journey with her.

"No direction but to follow what you know
No direction but have faith in her decision
No direction but to never fight her flow
No direction but to trust the final destination"

He must not take direction from anything other than himself, for that is what will lead him to a great and meaningful journey with the woman. He must follow what he knows and trust that the outcome is his desired final destination.

"You're a stranger 'till she whispers "you can stay"
You're a stranger 'till she whispers that your journey's over"

He is a stranger until the woman decides if he is worthy.

"Weigh your worth before her majesty the Verde River x4"

The man must weigh his worth with the woman.
