Quiet Desperation

My soul is in the mountains

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 comin' over me

Comin' 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

Another place I've got to be

I long for you Dakota

Smell of sweet grass on the plain

I see too much meanness

And I feel too much pain

There's quiet desperation comin' over me

Comin' 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

Another place I've got to be
