The four of us
On our way to the Badlands

Unbearable heat
Half-asleep
Watching buffalo pass

Pull over, sweetest friend
Don't say a word
Just take it in

Wasn't trying to get away
But it came out of nowhere
We could move to Medora
In the northern plains
You told me you couldn't go
Just stay there till August
Escape to Medora
In the northern plains

So we bought a ticket
To the outdoor theatre
You'd sell antique jewelry
And I'd be a singer

Am I looking too far ahead
Don't say a word
Just think on it

Wasn't trying to get away
But it came out of nowhere
We could move to Medora
In the northern plains
You told me you couldn't go
Just stay there till August
Escape to Medora
We'd be okay

Take me
Hold me
Within your canyon blue

In the badlands
The north wind
Built a castle of waiting rooms

So take me
Hold me
Within your canyon blue

Wasn't trying to get away
But it came out of nowhere
We could move to Medora
In the northern plains
You told me you couldn't go
Just stay there till August
Escape to Medora
We'd be okay
We'd be okay
