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
You're nothing but a town
On the South Dakota grass I lay me down
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
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
You're nothing but a town
On the South Dakota grass I lay me down
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
