God Out on the Plains They say you couldn't stay more than three days For the beauty of the Black Hills would astound and fade away And pilgrim, though your traveled far, say a prayer, gaze at the starts It's holy land that you stand on, so hit the trail and be gone Hit the trail and be gone I am a pilgrim on my way, I looked for God out on the plains
