south dakota morning

the sun shines down on a south dakota morning

and i can see their faces in my eyes

i wish they were behind me

my enemy can find me

if only to remind me that i'm really not alone

all the south dakota mornings i have known

the eagle flies on a south dakota morning

and i don't see my eagle anymore

now stranger

i must kill you

you must survive

but will you

i may just beat you down

but will it even up the score

i think i saw the eagle just once more

the rain comes down on a south dakota morning

and i can't see the sadness in my town

so let it be my pillow for underneath your willow

wanna go back to you though your nothing but a town

on the south dakota grass i lay me down
