North Dakota's charm
North Dakota's charm
Oh,how it calls,
but in a desolate land
rain seldom falls,
home steaders came
from far away
trying to make a name,
following their dreams
thoughts of new life beam,
on faith and a prayer
building their farms
here and there,
North Dakota's charm
Oh,how it calls,
but in a desolate land
rain seldom falls,
feilds planted by hand
some dreams grow,
some dreams fail,
as the dust blows
and the winds gale,
but Oh,how it calls,
North Dakota's charm
where rain seldom falls.
