corn palace
Plastic bags are catching air
they're dancing
Reaching wings white as wedding gowns
Haven't known for years where you are,
I'm not asking
The revival must be over.
The tents are coming down.
oil derricks
old men bending
Is it me
or is it everything that's ending
I was a boy when they built
the new corn palace
There's 's nothing like it anywhere
they'd tell us
It 'll bring folks in from everywhere,
far away as Dallas
Corn palace will save the town
(chorus)
Bet you never been back to South Dakota
You said there's nothing here
but indians and gin
Don't know how you'd find me
I don't look much like the photos
Whatever man you'd come to look for
I'm not him
Hollas creek is up and running
so much snow last winter
Cows are chewing sideways
you know why I think of you
If you ask me
the sun has gotten thinner
I can stare straight up at it.
Something you're not supposed to do
Nobody bales now days. They roll em
It's quick and easy
but it wastes a lot of hay
Why'd we waste so much money
getting married at the Palace
I Forget why it had to be
Saint Catherine's day
(chorus)
Bet you never been back to south Dakota
You said there's nothing here
but indians and gin
I on't know how you'd find me
I don't look much like the photos
Whoever you'd come to look for
I'm not him
Plastic bags like dancers at a wedding
Its crazy the things folks throw away
What if we'd got hitched
at the courthouse instead an
Put the money down on the Hartman place
angry for years after you left me
Don't know where all those years or
All that that anger went
Is it true what they
say when you left you were pregnant
That you had the kid
and gave the kid away?
Always Think of you
when I see hay rolls.
Of you and all that wasted hay
Everybody got so wasted
at our wedding at the Palace
Hey why'd it have to be
St. Catherine's day?
they're dancing
Reaching wings white as wedding gowns
Haven't known for years where you are,
I'm not asking
