Rapid City, South Dakota
Kinky Friedman

(Kinky Friedman)

Just a ragged kid in overalls, he thumbed a ride one day
He told me, €œAnywhere you€™re going€™s on my way.€?
But as we passed by Big Al€™s drive-in his eyes began to flash
He was leavin€™ Rapid City mighty fast.

He said, €œI hope to God she finds the good-bye letter that I wrote her
But the mail don€™t move so fast in Rapid City, South Dakota.€?

Well, he left her just a blanket of snow upon the farm
And that don€™t keep your conscience very warm.
He said his friends were too durn country and his pa was too damn mean
And there weren€™t no money pumpin€™ gasoline.

And her gentle eyes, the merchandise of dreams the peddler sold her
Who left her there alone in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Now the reason he was goin€™, I ain€™t sure I could say,
Might€™ve been the rodeo in Santa F.
€œThere€™s a doctor in Chicago, I know she€™ll be all right €?
He told himself as he stared into the night.

And he said, €œI hope to God she finds the good-bye letter that I wrote her
But the mail don€™t move so fast in Rapid City, South Dakota.€?

And all her people treatin€™ her just like they never knowed her
Lord, the winter€™s passin€™ slow in Rapid City, South Dakota.
