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 your nothing but a town 
On the South Dakota grass I lay me down
