Golden wheat is waving slow in the breeze
Shadows fall through the cottonwood trees
A memory rides on the prairie wind
Of a love I lost but can't rescind
The grasslands hum a tune only we used to know
Where the old dirt road winds to and fro
We danced in the barn till the rooster would crow
But the seasons changed what we used to grow
Dakota love under endless skies
Hearts burned bright where the eagle flies
But the plains couldn't hold what we tried to save
Now it's just me and the golden waves
Pedal steel cries like the wind through the pines
For a dream that was lost in the harvest time
A simple chord
It plays in my mind
Reminds me of a love I'll never find
Now I ride alone where the buffalo roamed
The stars overhead
My only home
The gentle drums echo my hollow heart
As the bass beats time since we fell apart
Dakota love under endless skies
Hearts burned bright where the eagle flies
But the plains couldn't hold what we tried to save
Now it's just me and the golden waves
Dakota love under endless skies
Hearts burned bright where the eagle flies
But the plains couldn't hold what we tried to save
Now it's just me and the golden waves
