South Dakota.......where I once lived...


The trains' bound for Baltimore
the kids were on it
but i couldn't find the strength
i drift away to all those days
i lived....... sadly awake

Somedays come and gone
and all the papers had to say
is that our boy's made it big
and happy with his full time job

They say that their gifts beget gifts but
will money pay for all those days
i spent scared and alone?

seconds ticking all the time
in my head
uphill Duke Street,
the presumed living dead
why was it ever '77 instead.

live and lie.....lie and live
jus' like they said
will summer come to everyone
jus' like they said
that Dakota still breeze blows
through my head


head down,
so no one can see
i pray to this god
i've never seen
in languages i don't know

head down,
i walk alone
crippled, hollow and disgraced
i walk the walk of shame
afraid to say my own name
