Her mama picked him up in south Minnesota
He promised her
the world but they never got that far
For he was last seen in that '59 DeSota
When Sally was
born in the black hills of Dakota
She was washed in the blood of the dying Sioux
nation
Raised with a proud but a wandering heart
And she knew that her roots were in the old
reservation
But she had stars in her eyes and graeter expectations
No rings on her
fingers no bells on het toes
With bugs on her headlights
And runs in her hose
Through
the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose
Adios, South Dakota, adios Sally
Rose
They've got a national monument carved out of stone
On the side of a mountain
where her forefathers roamed
Playing cowboys and Indians right under the nose
Of Theodore
Roosevelt and the sweet Sally Rose
So she left Rapid City in the blue moonlight
hour
With her eye on the highway and her foot on the floor
And turnin' the dial she was
pulled by the power
Of the word coming out of that broadcasting tower | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
