[D]
[F#m] [D]
[A]
[D] [E] [A]
[G#] pro-choice song ever written.
First pro-choice country song ever written.
[C#] And I'm proud to have
[N] made a choice.
It was recorded by Dwight Yoakam.
Let's have a little light applause for him.
[D]
Just a ragged kid in [G] overalls, he [A] thumped a ride [A] one day.
Told me anywhere [Em] he was going was on [A] my way.
[D] But as we passed by a big [G] owl's drive-in, [A] his eyes began to [D] flash.
He [G] was leaving [Em] Rapid City [A] mighty fast.
He [G] said, I hope to God she finds the [D] goodbye letter that I wrote her.
[A] But the mail-loan moves so fast in [G] Rapid City, South [D] Dakota.
Now he left her [G] just a blanket [A] of snow upon [D] the farm.
[G] And that don't keep your conscience very [A] warm.
He [D] said his friends were too [G] darn country, [A] and his pa was too [D] damn mean.
[G] And there weren't no money pumping
[A] gasoline.
[G] And her channel lies the merchandise [D] of dreams, the peddler's soldier
[A] who left her there alone in [G] Rapid City, [D] South Dakota.
Now the reason he [G] was going, [A] I ain't sure I could [D] say,
[G] might have been the rodeo in Santa [A] Fe.
There's [D] a doctor in [G] Chicago, [A] I know she'll be all [D] right.
He [G] told himself as he stared [A] into the night.
He [G]
said, I hope to God she finds [D] the goodbye letter that I wrote her.
[A] But the mail-loan moves so fast in Rapid [G]
City, South [D] Dakota.
And [G] all her people treating [D] her just like they never knowed her.
[A] And the winter's passing slow in [G] Rapid City, [D] [Em]
[D] South Dakota.
