Border of Dakota Lyrics

At the fading crest of summer

As the sun was sinking low

The salmon flies were hatching

Rising like a plume of smoke

You said you'd never seen a sight the like

"O God, O glory be"

But I don't wanna' be here anymore

On the border of Dakota

I thought I heard you say to me

While you were twisting like a rope

In the passenger seat

That your mind feels like an ashtray

You're sick of all these dreams

And I don't wanna' be here anymore

Crossing into Oklahoma

Rolling joints on the dashboard

Where the dust cloud rolled like thunder

So many years before

Lacing your boots in case you find the place

Where the grapes of wrath are stored

And I don't wanna' be here anymore

I don't wanna' be here anymore

On the shores of Carolina

With your feet deep in the sand

Your hair faded green like nicotine

Your knife was in your hand

You said this life ain't worth the living

But I don't think you understand

And I don't wanna' be here anymore

I don't wanna' be here anymore

I don't wanna' be here anymore

I don't wanna' be here anymore
