I may just beat you down but will it even up the score?
All the South Dakota mornings I have known
The rain comes down on a South Dakota morning
So let it be my pillow for underneath your willow
The eagle flies on a South Dakota mornin'
I wish they were behind me, my enemy can find me
And I don't see my eagle anymore
Now stranger I must kill you, you must survive but will you?
If only to remind me that I'm really not alone
On the South Dakota grass I lay me down
I think I saw the eagle just once more
Wanna go back to you though you're nothin' but a town
And I can't see the sadness in my town
