WHERE NO ONE HAD KNOWN HER is about a longing for departure from the place you were born and grew up in. Inspired by a devastating flood in South Dakota in the 1970s, it's about wanting to escape the pull of a town but not being able to. Obstacles exist that prevent your dreams from happening. The reasons may be economic, the powers of family, inertia, nostalgia, substance abuse, fear, or self-defeatism in its many forms. Moving around is not for everyone but in the end, a little travel never hurt. Go while you can.

Where's the love you read about?

Where on earth are you?

Where's the dove that you let out?

We'll never know the truth

This is what I'm up against

I've trained so hard to avoid

Dependent on dependents mad

You wonder why I look so sad

Don't tell your brothers this

You know they won't listen

They'll slide and lose control

Private pleasure, but something's missing 

Private pleasure, but something's missing 

Private pleasure, but something's missing
