From the recording North Dakota Nightlights
Lyrics
Westbound, Williston at dawn again
Black gold in the hills, forgive us of our sins
As we light up the Badlands, me and 50,000 men
For 3 weeks in the shale
Devils loose in our heads
And in our dreams we are all innocent
Washing us clean, down by the riverbend
Chasing a dream we come to disappear
But sleep is a stranger here
In the North Dakota nightlights
Bismarck, 90 miles to the east
But there ain't no escaping the debts to be paid
Well, I was 18 when I made my big mistake
And I ran for the hills, devils loose in my head
And in my dreams I am still innocent
Washing me clean, down by the riverbend
Chasing a dream, I come to disappear
But sleep is a stranger here
In the North Dakota nightlights
