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.
I long for you, Dakota The smell of sweet grass on the plain I see too much meanness And I feel too much pain.
And 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.
