"South Dakota" lyrics

(Aw)

She's a map dot I ain't never heard of
She's a place that I never thought I'd go
She's all I didn't know I was in search of
She's Heaven down a lost forgotten road

Wasn't trying to leave my life behind
For the black in them hills and the blue in her eyes

South Dakota, yeah, I barely know her, but I'm thinkin' 'bout stickin' around
When the nights get colder and I get to hold her
I might have me a new hometown
Don't know what it is she sees or what's gotten into me
I always ride away, but hell, I just might stay in South Dakota

She said she wants to take me to the Badlands (Badlands)
I said, "Darlin', that sounds damn good to me"
Just a week ago I thought I had plans
Now where she is is where I wanna be

She's got an accent I don't recognize
There's forever in her laughter and family in her eyes

South Dakota, yeah, I barely know her, but I'm thinkin' 'bout stickin' around
When the nights get colder and I get to hold her
I might have me a new hometown
Don't know what it is she sees or what's gotten into me
I always ride away, but hell, I just might stay in South Dakota

I couldn't tell you what's out there, out there
And maybe it's way too soon
But you know I don't care, don't care
'Cause when I'm beside her, it's a hell of a view, oh

South Dakota, yeah, I barely know her, but I'm thinkin' 'bout stickin' around
When the nights get colder and I get to hold her
I might have me a new hometown
Don't know what it is she sees or what's gotten into me
I mostly ride away, but hell, I just might stay in South Dakota
