DAKOTA Lyrics by Red Leather

RENO

2023

[intro]
(Woo)
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
I was on a one-way train
Headed to a valley of death with a ballin' chain (Woo)
Then you let me in and cleaned me up
Took me to church, gave me your love (Woo)
But this wolf can't change (Woo)
Ooh, and I got sins only god could forgive (Woo)

[Pre-Chorus]
And the closer we get, I push you away
And that's why I gotta say

[Chorus]
Goodbye, Dakota, you're too sweet for a man like me
Goodbye, Dakota, I lost my faith, and I'm so sorry
Dakota, I'll always love ya'
Goodbye Dakota, go save yourself 'cause you can't save me

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh (Woo)
Ooh, ooh
Go save yourself 'cause you can't save me (Woo)

[Verse 2]
Used to call you when I was drunk (Woo)
And you'd drive two hours in the snow just to pick me up (Woo)
But I would dodge your calls while doin' 8-balls with girls I barely knew (Woo)
And when the sun came up, I would lie to you
I'm a piece of shit that no one can fix (Woo)

[Pre-Chorus]
And the closer we get I push you away (Woo)
And that's why I gotta say

[Chorus]
Goodbye, Dakota, you're too sweet for a man like me
Goodbye, Dakota, I lost my faith, and I'm so sorry (Woo)
Dakota, I'll always love ya'
Goodbye, Dakota, go save yourself 'cause you can't save me

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh (Woo)
Ooh, ooh (Woo)

[Outro]
Goodbye Dakota, you're too sweet for a man like me
Goodbye Dakota, go save yourself 'cause you can't save me
Ooh, ooh
