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
