Hey Dakota what do you say Let's take my car and just drive away
The sun is out it's a crayon day A picture you drew back in third grade
All we know is this little town It's a great big world we're standin' on
This road runs straight and true Don't ya wanna see what we could do
The clock's tickin' away hey
Hey Dakota take my hand Straight out of these Badlands
We could make it we might fall Either way we'll see it all
Hey Dakota don't change your mind Young and in love is a real short time
Hey Dakota where do we go Maybe the Rockies in the snow
Or dodgin' waves in a red sunset Or anyplace we ain't been yet
A million dreams have come and gone Don't let ours die in this dry ground
A million love songs in the air We'll find that station I'll take you there Take you there
Maybe the day will come around We'll come back to our hometown
We won't know until we see And we can't choose if we aren't free
