Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord, this mornin', when I woke up
I wanted that whiskey in my coffee cup
Had last night ringin' in my head
Tellin' me I oughta go back to bed
[Chorus]
I'm in South Dakota
I keep on stayin' behind
I'm in South Dakota
Trouble ain't hard to find
[Verse 2]
I thought I might go take a ride
Changed my mind when I looked outside
I can't stay, but I can't leave
Or get myself away from me
[Chorus]
I'm in South Dakota
I keep on stayin' behind
I'm in South Dakota
Trouble ain't hard to find
[Verse 3]
Nights are long as the day is cold
Stayin' alive is gettin' old
Nothin' is everythin' I got left
Starin' down the devil, but I'm scared to death
[Chorus]
I'm in South Dakota
I keep on stayin' behind
I'm in South Dakota
Trouble ain't hard to find
[Outro]
I'm in South Dakota
Keep on stayin' behind
I'm in South Dakota
Trouble ain't hard to find
