Cheap perfume, a bad tattoo
But somehow it looks good on you
Your eyes are tired, your hair's a mess
Coffee stain and nicotine
Staring at the window pane
I see that name tag on your dress
Oh, Dakota weight of the world on your shoulder
Watchin' the place flying over
Late at night, no-one to hold ya, Dakota
I know that lately it's hard to stay sober
'Cause life is so easy they told ya
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
I know that lately it's hard to stay sober
'Cause life is so easy they told ya
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
Sweet sixteen, a beauty queen
Destined for the movie screen
She burned up bridges on the way yeah, yeah
Bills to pay, I'm hide away
Take a pill to float away
Another Hollywood cliché
Oh, Dakota, weight of the world on your shoulder
Watchin' the place flying over
Late at night, no-one to hold ya, Dakota
I know that lately it's hard to stay sober
'Cause life is so easy they told ya
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
I know that lately it's hard to stay sober
'Cause life is so easy they told ya
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
Oh Dakota, weight of the world on your shoulder
Watchin' the place flying over
Late at night, no-one to hold ya, Dakota
I know that lately it's hard to stay sober
'Cause life is so easy they told ya
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
But they don't know you like I know ya, Dakota
Dakota
