Your baby's eyes look crazy, now, they're tuggin' at your sleeve
Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls
Is there anyone that knows? Is there anyone that cares?
Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar
Your brain, it is a bleedin' and your legs just can't seem to stand
Your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile
You spent your last, lone dollar on them seven, shotgun shells
Your eyes fix on the shotgun that you're holdin' in your hand
Seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
You walk the floor and you wonder why
You prayed to the Lord above to please, send you a friend
Your grass is turning black and there's no water in your well
Your eyes fix on your shotgun that's hangin' on the wall
Your brain, it is a bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
The rats, they've got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare
With his wife and five children in his cabin, broken down
Your baby's eyes look crazy and they're tuggin' at your sleeve
Your empty pockets tell you that you ain't got no friend
There's seven breezes blowin' all around the cabin door
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
Your baby's a cryin' louder now, it's poundin' on your brain
With every breath that you breathe
You prayed to the Lord above to please, send you a friend
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
Your wife's screams are a stabbin' you, like dirty, drivin' rain
Seven breezes blowin' all around the cabin door
The rats, they've got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare
Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well
Your baby's cryin' louder now, it's poundin' on your brain
