Nocona George - Oh, Dakota!

Over here winter's easy and the summer is fine
I'm getting too damn soft
No room to stretch
No air to breathe
Just the comfort of my loft

The traffic lights that shine on me say hey man time to go
Or i can keep betting it'll pay off soon
And see what the concrete knows

Oh Dakota
I'm coming round the bend
Oh Dakota
Seems the city ain't my friend

The lights stay on but it's dark as hell
And I miss the mist of a river swell

Oh, dakota
I'm coming round the bend
Oh, dakota
I'm coming home again

Leave the golden grey
For a greener land
Tear the promise up
With a calloused hand
Feral at heart
Let the shelter fall apart

Tell mama I'm coming
Tell my daddy I'm home
Tell my boss best bet's on the rotary phone
A simpler life
That's what calls to me

To hear the crickets chirp
And the wagons roll
I want to stake my claim
Stay in control
A simpler life
That's what calls to me

Oh Dakota
I'm coming round the bend
Oh Dakota
Seems the city ain't my friend

The lights stay on but it's dark as hell
And I miss the ringing of my church's bell

Oh Dakota
I'm coming round the bend
Oh Dakota
I'm coming home again

Oh Dakota
I just fell apart
Oh Dakota
I don't play to win
Just want to leave behind this great big life of sin

Oh Dakota
Oh Dakota
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Oh Dakota
I just fall apart
Oh Dakota
I need a new start
The lights stay bright
But it all feels wrong
I'm heading to the woods where i belong
Oh, dakota
I'm coming round the bend
