My soul is in the mountain, my heart is in the land,
I'm lost here in the city, there's so much I don't understand.
There's quiet desperation coming over me, coming over me.
I've got to leave I can't stay another day,
there's an emptiness inside of me.
I can't bear the loneliness out here,
there's another place I've got to be,
another place I've got to be.
I long for you, Dakota, the smell of sweet grass on the plain,
I see too much meanness and I feel too much pain.
There's quiet desperation coming over me, coming over me.
I've got to leave I can't stay another day,
there's an emptiness inside of me.
I can't bear the loneliness out here,
there's another place I've got to be,
another place I've got to be.
