Verse 1:
Where the Badlands rise and the Black Hills stand tall,
South Dakota's beauty captures us all.
From the rolling plains to the mighty Rushmore,
This is a land with stories galore.

Chorus:
South Dakota, where the buffalo roam,
From the prairies wide to the Lakota's home.
In every breeze and every starry night,
South Dakota, your spirit shines bright.

Hook
South Dakota, your spirit shines bright.

Hook
South Dakota, your spirit shines bright.

Verse 2:
In the fields of gold where the wheat sways free,
And the Missouri River flows so gracefully.
From the Great Plains sky to the sacred ground,
South Dakota, there's magic all around.

Bridge:
From Sioux Falls' streets to the Badlands deep,
In the winter's chill and the summer's heat.
In every heart, there's a rugged beat,
South Dakota, you're strong and sweet.

Chorus:
South Dakota, where the buffalo roam,
From the prairies wide to the Lakota's home.
In every breeze and every starry night,
South Dakota, your spirit shines bright.

South Dakota, your spirit shines bright.

South Dakota, your spirit shines bright.

Outro:
Country tunes with a touch of blues,
South Dakota's rhythms are old and new.
From folk tales told by campfire light,
South Dakota, you're pure delight."
