Matt Rogers - South Dakota Sky Lyrics

A thousand miles away from home
But it doesn't feel like I'm alone
I can hear the whisper in the wind
That voice of reason's creeping in
And the gears won't stop turning
All the lessons I've been learning
Still don't keep my mind from asking why

Am I doing what I should be
Do the lyrics really move me
Or am I only playin' guitar with words that rhyme
Is there something to the story
Uncharted territory
Maybe I'm just tired or I'm just high
But the stars are asking questions
In the South Dakota sky
The stars are asking questions
In the South Dakota sky

There's a clarity in the black of night
That burns away with the morning light
You recognize your childhood fears
They don't change much throughout the years
That old familiar feeling
Searching for the meaning
Cause you know we're only living til we die

So am I doing what I should be
Do the lyrics really move me
Or am I only playin' guitar with words that rhyme
Is there something to the story
Uncharted territory
Maybe I'm just tired or I'm just high
But the stars are asking questions
In the South Dakota sky
The stars are asking questions
In the South Dakota sky

There's a million little lights up there as far as I can see
It's hard to keep the faith sometimes, but as long as I believe

That I'm doing what I should be
Writing lyrics that still move me
If they don't say nothing, I don't waste my time
Ain't afraid to tell the story
All the faults and all the glory
Cause they'll never be anything but mine
I'm finding answers to the questions
In the South Dakota sky
Finding answers to the questions
In the South Dakota sky
