LyricMeaning

You, South Dakota
Bryan Dunn

It's 3 AM in southern California

And I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight

'Cause there's a girl in the corner there

With pink flowers in her hair

And she smiles at me as she turns out the light


Every time this happens I remember

The dress you wore, gossamer and white

And that timid smile for me

I put my hand there on your knee

And I laid you down on a warm September night


I stole all these memories

To turn them into art

I think of you, South Dakota

And the boy who broke your heart


I spent 4 long years in New York City

I told myself I had something to prove

But the way I left that town

Dead of night, the pedal down

Was I running from myself or just from you?


But I still keep a photograph


Hidden up my sleeve

A picture of you, South Dakota

And the boy I used to be


And everyone who knows me

Has never even met me

'Cause I never mention you

No, I never mention you

Amy


Now I'm somewhere on the road in Oklahoma

I think I'll be there in Norman soon

But every song tonight

And every song I write

They've always been my letters home to you


And maybe you will hear them

Someday on your radio

A song of you, South Dakota

And a boy you used to know
