Rapid City, South Dakota Lyrics - Kinky Friedman

Just a ragged kid in overalls, he thumbed a ride one day 

He told me, Anywhere youre going is on my way 

But as we passed by Big Als drive-in his eyes began to flash 

He was leavin Rapid City mighty fast 

He said, I hope to God she finds 

The goodbye letter that I wrote her 

But the mail dont move so fast 

In Rapid City, South Dakota 

Now, he left her just a blanket of snow upon the farm 

And that dont keep your conscience very warm 

He said his friends were too darn country and his pa was too damn mean 

And there werent 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 

The reason he was goin, I aint sure I could say 

Might have been the rodeo in Santa Fe 

Theres a doctor in Chicago, I know shell be all right 

He told himself as he stared into the night 

He said, I hope to God she finds 

The goodbye letter that I wrote her 

But the mail dont move so fast 

In Rapid City, South Dakota
