Dakota Shootout

Did you get your man that night
Shoot him in the back under the streetlights
What were you feeling that night?
Dakota shootout, Dakota shootout, Dakota oh yea

Who'd you think that you could be?
Was it a hero, a big man of history
Did you wear a smile on your face?
Dakota shootout, Dakota shootout, Dakota oh yea

Bridge
Time is frozen here in this photograph, never coming back
Never moving on
We're survivers all, that night so black,
We still sing those songs together

A bullet went and freed your man
From all the bullshit this world demands
He's got a brand new scene to make
Dakota shootout, Dakota shootout, Dakota oh yea

Bridge
How's it feel to be truly alone
In the prison that you now call home
You've gone and dug yourself a grave
Dakota shootout, Dakota shootout, Dakota oh yea
