Pine Ridge Lyrics & Chords By Kid Dakota

pine ridge, south dakota's got a lot of good people
doing bad things to one another.
pine ridge, south dakota's got a lot of good people.
yeah, it's densely populated.
she's 14, expecting. he's 40, neglecting.
they're not married. they're blood-related.
pow, pow wow. pow, pow wow. pow, pow wow. pow wow. pow wow.
with a government check, they go buy liquor
and it makes her thoughts grow dim then dimmer
and they get in their cars and drink and drive
across the state line
all the way to white, white clay.
with a government check, they go buy liquor,
instilling the blood with vim and vigor
and they get in their cars and drink and drive
across the reservation
all the way to the pow, pow wow.
and at night they beat the drums
and dance around the fire.
pow, pow wow. pow, pow wow. pow, pow wow. pow, pow wow. pow wow. pow wow.
the night is dark and there's unrest.
drums in the distance; they're beating them to death.
the night is dark and there's unrest.
shots in the distance, in the ditches they are left.
