QUIET DESPERATION

My soul is in the mountain,
my heart is in the land
But I’m lost here in this city,
there’s so much I don’t understand
And this Quiet Desperation coming over me,
coming over me

I gotta leave,
I can’t stay another day
There’s an emptiness inside of me
and I can’t bear the loneliness out here
There’s another place I’ve gotta be,
another place I’ve gotta be

Instrumental

I gotta leave,
I can’t stay another day
There’s an emptiness inside of me
and I can’t bear the loneliness out here
There’s another place I’ve gotta be
another place I’ve gotta be

I long for you Dakota,
smell of sweet-grass on the plain
I see too much meanness,
and I feel too much pain
And this Quiet Desperation, coming over me,
coming over me

I gotta leave
I can’t stay another day
There’s emptiness inside of me
and I can’t bear the loneliness out here
There’s another place I’ve gotta be,
another place I’ve gotta be
