lyrics

North Dakota

by Cade Siemers

Combine broke on the county line
Crack a Pabst Blue Ribbon gotta bide the time
My Uncle says that the cutters stuck
And the weather’s screaming ‘Don’t press your luck’

My Tools are in Trent’s pickup truck
Todd’s over ta’ Kenmare and plowin’ it up
Gotta hear the hum of that threshing drum
We gotta’ catch this wheat before
The Snowman comes

He said, North Dakota Runs lean and mean
Pert’near the whole state bleeds John Deere green
Family strong, ‘Ya Bet Cha’ tough
Damn winters here will call your bluff
Got buckshot women who love the pleasure
Of men who love passin’ wheat ‘cross the header.

This ground once broken by hand
Bind’s our tribe to southern land

She’s North Dakota
And just like your daddy told ya
She like’s it North of Texas
Just South of the border

A combine stuck out in the field
Takes more than beer to make the cutter yield
My Uncle says what my Pop-Pop’d say
When farming wouldn’t go his way
He’d say ‘Breakdowns come and breakdowns go
just like the North Dakotan snow
Ah, The Snowman he must die come spring
Hear the
Bells-of-Bow
Go Ding-Ding-Ding!’

He said, North Dakota Runs lean and mean
Pert’near the whole state bleeds John Deere green
Family strong, ‘Ya Bet Cha’ tough
Damn winters here will call your bluff
Got ‘Flicker-Tail’ women who love the pleasure
Of men who love passin’ wheat ‘cross the header.

This ground once broken by hand
Bind’s our tribe to southern land

She’s North Dakota
And just like your daddy told ya
She like’s it North of Texas
Just South of the border

She’s North Dakota
Seems The Blues forgot to scold her
She like’s it North of Texas
Just South of the border


(Guitar Solo)


This ground once broken by hand
Bind’s our tribe to southern land

She’s North Dakota
And just like your daddy told ya
She like’s it North of Texas
Just South of the border

She’s North Dakota
Got no need for walls to hold her
She like’s it North of Texas
Just South of the border

North of Texas
Just South of the border

Livin’ North of Texas
Just South of the border
