In South Dakota
The ocean is the highway
The highway rises up
The highway takes you down
But just before that
It gives a little hope
Something to look out towards
Something to look forward to
The big South Dakota sky
Swallowing up my text messages
Messing with my wifi reception
Can't tell if I'm teaching or learning a lesson
Enough to keep my friends and family guessing
I don't want anything to do with your legacy
I'd much rather decide for myself
I'd rather be cool and depressing
Than to be happy 'cause of somebody else
The big South Dakota sky
Swallowing up my text messages
Messing with my wifi connection
I can't tell if I'm teaching or learning a lesson
Enough to keep my friends and family guessing
Just like the ocean
The highway is water
And just like the highway
The ocean is concrete
You finally realize
Life's but a dream
But exactly how you're feeling
Ain't exactly how it seems
You move into the desert
Or deeper into the city
You start wearing earplugs when you sleep
You finally realize
Life's but a dream
The big South Dakota sky
Swallowing up my text messages
Messing with my wifi connection
Can't tell if I'm teaching or learning a lesson
Enough to keep my friends and family guessing
