My North Dakota Home

from The Prairie by Tom Brosseau

lyrics

In the red barn, a red Corvair
Many years it rusted there
I used to dream behind the wheel
Oh, how free it would feel

Running in and out of the poplar trees
Poplar leaves shaking in the breeze
Across the way, the combines comb
O'er the land of my home
My North Dakota home

A closer look in the sunshine
Old Coke glass along the B-N line
Clear away any dirt
Feel around the hobble skirt

A taste of dust from miles away
I bet it rains sometime today
The weather vane on the silo dome
Points every which way home

My North Dakota home
No nearer place to me
No dearer place to me than my North Dakota home
