1
Her mama picked him up in south Minnesota
2
He promised her the world but they never got that far
3
For he was last seen in that '59 DeSoto
4
When Sally was born in the black hills of Dakota
5
She was washed in the blood of the dying Sioux nation
6
Raised with a proud but a wandering heart
7
And she knew that her roots were in the old reservation
8
But she had stars in her eyes and greater expectations
9
No rings on her fingers, no bells on her toes
10
With bugs on her headlights and runs in her hose
11
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose
12
Adios South Dakota, adios Sally Rose
13
They've got a national monument carved out of stone
14
On the side of a mountain where her forefathers roamed
15
Playin' cowboys and Indians, right under the nose
16
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the sweet Sally Rose
17
So she left Rapid City in the blue moonlight hour
18
With her eye on the highway and her foot on the floor
19
And turnin' the dial, she was pulled by the power
20
Of the word coming out of that broadcasting tower
21
No rings on her fingers, no bells on her toes
22
With bugs on her headlights and runs in her hose
23
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose
24
Adios South Dakota, adios Sally Rose
