lyrics

It’s a throwback,
On my radio.
From when we,
Used to go.

To that motel,
Every spring.
To crash their pool not,
Wearing a thing.

Was it your youthful charms &
trained charisma,
That hit me squarely in the jaw with hope?

(Chorus)

Oh my, Dakota,
Isn't it a shame,
That I ever got to know ya'?

Oh my, Dakota,
I ended up,
A stranger in my own home.

Oh my, Dakota,
Isn't it a shame,
That I had to let go of ya'?

Oh my, Dakota,
It was time I,
Picked up and left you alone.

The thought faded,
And I laughed so.
It still astounds me,
You don’t know.

A minced finger,
Is too dear a thing.
Just so you,
Can wear my ring.

I should have never let my guard down
for an answer,
‘Cause you sucker punched me
right in the nose.

(Chorus)

Oh my, Dakota,
Isn't it a shame,
That I ever got to know ya'?

Oh my, Dakota,
I ended up,
A stranger in my own home.

Oh my, Dakota,
Isn't it a shame,
That I had to let go of ya'?

Oh my, Dakota,
It was time I,
Picked up and left you alone.

(Bridge)

The neighborhood,
Will never be the same.
They still curse the day,
That we ever came.

A mistake that wrote me,
My greatest songs.
That old house was bound to burn,
Before too long.

(Chorus)

Oh my, Dakota,
Isn't it a shame,
That I ever got to know ya'?

Oh my, Dakota,
I ended up,
A stranger in my own home.

Oh my, Dakota,
Isn't it a shame,
That I had to let go of ya'?

Oh my, Dakota,
It was time I,
Picked up and left you alone.
