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 may 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 see the sadness in my town

So, let it be my pillow for underneath your willow

Wanna go back to you, though you're nothin' but a town

On the South Dakota grass, I lay me down

Lay down

Lay down
