There are no rides that leave today
out of Pine Ridge, South Dakota
What cars there are rust in the fields, they lie there down
and broken
The depot's closed, boarded up, and the conductor's gone
away
And at any rate, the only line to Pine Ridge went one way
Most
days and nights, there's little to do except walk to the
corner store
Bum a few dollars from a passerby, buy a bottle or maybe
more
To dampen age-old visions that roll easy through my mind
And memories of promises, a broken dream so unkind
When all the hope is gone and there's nowhere left to turn
All that's been forgotten must now be relearned
When looking to horizons only brings around the tears and
the pain,
Gotta keep on dancing, and oh, singin' in the rain
The
last connection around these parts got severed in the night
When the big ole trucks came rolling in, and there was no
one left to fight
They worked till dawn and when the town awoke and took a
look around
They saw that while they slept it off, they tore the old
drive-in down
So
we hang around the gambling halls and the corner store and
we think
About summertime now come and gone and where to get another
drink
As the clouds roll in and the wind blows cold, I dream as
if I might
Take a walk around in the evening rain, maybe leave by the
morning light
When
all the hope is gone and there's nowhere left to turn
All that's been forgotten must now be relearned
When looking to horizons only brings around the tears and
the pain,
Gotta keep on dancing, and oh, singin' in the rain
There
are no rides that leave today out of Pine Ridge, South Dakota
What cars there are rust in the fields, they lie there down
and broken
The depot's closed, boarded up, and the conductor's gone
away
And at any rate, the only line to Pine Ridge went one way
When
all the hope is gone and there's nowhere left to turn
All that's been forgotten must now be relearned
When looking to horizons only brings around the tears and
the pain,
Gotta keep on dancing, and oh, singin' in the rain
