After deciding to live full-time in our RV, we could pick anywhere that we wanted to domicile.   In other words, where did we want to establish our “home base”?

It didn’t take long for us to know based on our past travels. We fell in love with South Dakota — the beauty, the people, and so much more.

This song is a tribute to our new home. Even though we are on the road most of the time, we are always excited to come back to this beautiful state.

I”m not a professional singer or musician. Be kind.

Lyrics to South Dakota Domicile Song

VERSE ONE
Here’s a song I wrote
About South Dakota
Home of the Lakota
And me

We’re mobile
We drive lots of miles
But we domicile
In SD

We’re two chicks
With no sticks and bricks
We get our kicks
On the road

But we need a place
A wide open space
To embrace
And call our home

CHORUS (V1)
South Dakota
Is the place where I want to be
To make our home base
Escape the rat race
And travel this great country

VERSE 2
Now Sioux Falls
Has Canaries baseball
And quite an
Art walk scene

I’ve raised my chalice
To the Corn Palace
And ate chislik
At Remedy

I watched the water flow
Down the Mighty MO
Just like
Lewis and Clark

And farther west
I took a Wall Drug rest
Near the Badlands
National Park

VERSE 3
This ditty is really
About Rapid City
It sure is pretty
We think

Oh I still get chills
When I see those the Black Hills
Which look quite
Green to me.

And nothing inspires
Like those Cathedral Spires
And a bike along
The Mickelson Trail

So let’s retire
To a life of campfires
Deep breaths
And exhales

VERSE 4

We’ve got no nexus
To Florida or Texas
We are Midwest
Classy Broads

Nomads who roam
In our motorhome
Writing silly songs
And travelouges

Then Custer State Park
Won my heart
With the bison
And mountain goats

So I planted a flag
Got a license and tags
And made South Dakota
where I vote.

VERSE 5
Indian Folklore,
Rushmore, Dinasours
The fun never
Ends

So why not pitch
A tent
Or pay some rent
To the City of presidents

And if I told ya
It’s "pop," not "soda"
In South Dakota
How does that sound?

I say we go to a joint
Like Dakota Point,
Or Lost Cabin
For the first round.

CHORUS (V2)
South Dakota
Is the place where I want to be
Great Places and Great Faces
This is my American
Journey
