Rapid City Nowhere

Last summer We drove across the country Just the wife and me 10,000 miles 31 states Three months on the road I now know why people don’t live In South Dakota Hot, dry dusty Windy as hell Black Hills are nice But after seeing Mt. Rushmore There is not much left to do Rapid City did not impress me Nor did Sioux Falls And wall drugs Well the free water was nice But it is a nothing town In a nothing state On the edge of the badlands And the Sioux reservation There is a reason the Indians live there No one else wanted the land And they are warehoused there So I drove through Rapid City And thought that it is the heart of Trump Land The land of the forgotten The left behind Just another nothing burger of a State In the middle of nowhere Truly flyover country
