words and music copyright Floyd Red Crow Westerman
my heart is in the mountains
my soul is in the land
I’m stuck here in the city
there’s so much I don’t unedrstand
there’s a quiet desperation
comin’ over me, comin’ over me
I gotta leave, I can’t stay another day
there’s an emptiness inside of me
I feel too much loneliness out here
there’s another place I’ve got to be
another place I’ve got to be
I long for you Dakota
smell of sweet grass in the plains
I see too much meanness
I feel too much pain
there’s a quiet desperation
comin’ over me, comin’ over me
I gotta leave, I can’t stay another day
there’s an emptiness inside of me
I feel too much loneliness out here
there’s another place I’ve got to be
another place I’ve got to be
