about
Written about going to standing rock to protest the oil pipeline. If you listen close you can hear Ike smile half way thru the recording. Hauntingly poetic and beautiful in its simplicity.
All proceeds from the sale of this song will go to Ike's family and children to help support them in their time of need. RIP Ikey.
lyrics
When I was a child my parents would play
thru both the Dakotas in an old country band.
I was so young, I wouldn’t know it if I saw it
but it’s safe to say we were on sacred land.
Father won’t you take me out of Hennepin County
Back to the big Sioux where we stayed.
Im sorry son they made quite a mess
but we can go west and help out in some way.
Sometimes we travel down the Mississippi
to the boarded Ford plant or the lock and damn bridge,
and grown fold would chase us for bad and for worse
but really all we were were innocent kids.
Daddy get me out of Hennepin County
to the big Sioux where we used to stay.
Well, Im sorry son they made quite a mess
but we can go west and help out in some way.
The fracking started up in the territories next door
torturing water and stripping the land.
Now they’re walking away from their unfinished drills
and writing it down as the progress of man.
Father get me out of Hennepin County
To the big Sioux where we used to stay.
Well, I’m sorry son they made quite a mess
but we can go west and help out in some way.
When I die put my ashes in Buckman lake gently,
let my soul go on up to the old witches tree.
I’ll be half way to heaven with Paradise waiting.
Just 5 miles away from wherever i’d be
