NORTH DAKOTA FARM BOY
A couple of bars, three churches and a café
The old home town is still the same
The grain is gold and the sky is so blue
And the sunset brings heaven in viewBut it’s a long long road to get back home
That North Dakota farm boy had diamonds in the backyard
So near, and yet so very far
That North Dakota farm boy, well, he’s turnin’ over new sod
And walkin’ hand in hand with GodHe sought the mansions where riches must dwell
There was emptiness behind every door
There was baggage pilin’ up on a lonely road
But, he still needed somethin’ moreNow, he’s walkin’ with the one who can bring him home
That North Dakota farm boy had diamonds in the backyard
So near, and yet so very far
That North Dakota farm boy, well, he’s turnin’ over new sod
And walkin’ hand in hand with GodThese greatest gifts that we’ve had all the time
Are always the hardest to findThat North Dakota farm boy had diamonds in the backyard
So near, and yet so very far
That North Dakota farm boy, well, he’s turnin’ over new sod
And walkin’ hand in hand with GodHe’s walkin’ hand in hand with God
