(Ooh, ooh)

I was on a one-way train
Headed to a valley of death with the ball a chain
Then you let me in and cleaned me up
Took me to church, gave me your love
But this wolf can't change

Oh, I've got sins only God could forgive
And the closer we get, I push you away
And that's why I gotta say

Goodbye, Dakota
You're too sweet for a man like me
Goodbye, Dakota
I lost my faith and I'm so sorry
Dakota, I'll always love you
Goodbye, Dakota
Go save yourself 'cause you can't save me

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Go save yourself 'cause you can't save me

Used to call you when I was drunk
And you'd drive two hours in the snow just to pick me up
But I would dodge your calls while doin' eight-balls with girls I barely knew
And when the sun came up, I would lie to you

I'm a piece of shit that no one can fix
And the closer we get, I push you away
And that's why I gotta say

Goodbye, Dakota
You're too sweet for a man like me
Goodbye, Dakota
I lost my faith and I'm so sorry
Dakota, I'll always love you
Goodbye, Dakota
Go save yourself 'cause you can't save me

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

Goodbye, Dakota
You're too sweet for a man like me
Goodbye, Dakota
Go save yourself 'cause you can't save me
(Ooh, ooh)
