lyrics

On a tour through South Dakota
I was drinking scotch and soda
At a club that we were headlining that night

The barkeep she was flirty
Just a few years over thirty
She had a rose tattoo and smoked those Camel Lights

She kept that liquor flowin’
Her cards were really showin’
When she asked if I could help her in the back

She said she favored indoor sports
She dropped her cutoff shorts
And proceeded with a full frontal attack

You never really leave the hills of South Dakota
They stick with you, a souvenir for life
You can bet when I get back to Arizona
That those hills will cause me trouble with my wife

Well I knew that it was risky
But she was so damn frisky
I just couldn’t keep my mind on nothing else

She was really bein tricksy
When she poured me all that whisky
Cause it got where I just couldn’t help myself

Well I couldn’t escape the notion
That her steadfast devotion
To the carnal arts might be bad for my health

And just a few days later
At a truck stop in Decatur
My worst fears were confirmed below the belt

You never really leave the hills of South Dakota
They stick with you, a souvenir for life
You can bet when I get back to Arizona
That those hills will cause me trouble with my wife
