Lord, this morning, when I woke up

I wanted that whiskey in my coffee cup

Had last night ringing in my head

Telling me I oughta go back to bed.

I'm in south dakota

I keep on staying behind

I'm in south dakota

Trouble ain't hard to find.

I thought I might go take a ride

Changed my mind when I looked outside

I can't stay, but I can't leave

Or get myself away from me.

I'm in south dakota

I keep on staying behind

I'm in south dakota

Trouble ain't hard to find.

Nights are long as the day is cold

Staying alive is getting old

Nothing is everything I got left

Staring down the devil, but I'm scared to death.

I'm in south dakota

I keep on staying behind

I'm in south dakota

Trouble ain't hard to find.

I'm in south dakota

Keep on staying behind

I'm in south dakota

Trouble ain't hard to find.
