Texas are you my friend, you live so close to the end
Texas are you my friend, cause I'm afraid of you
Hey Maine hey, you're a little too high for me
And Fla you're just a little too low
D.C. you could be the end of me
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you
Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through
she'll shake you to Idaho, that's what she'll do
Oo, Oo Carolina Brother's you make me crawl under the covers
I just can't get myself to go, oh no
Hey Joe I see your name too, but there is nothin that they can do
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you
Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through

She says
Idaho
Is calling you home
Old friends and lovers
Returning the blows
Cry me a river
Miss understood
(If you're misunderstood)
For all ever after
Knew that you would
(How I knew that you would)
I didn't turn on
You turned away
No one is listening
Anyway
She says
Idaho
Is calling you home
Old Friends and Lovers
Returning the blows
Cry me a river
For misunderstood
(If you're misunderstood)
For all ever after
Knew that you would
(How I knew that you would)
I didn't turn on
You turned away
No one is listening
Anyway
Time is the best thing for giving in
No one is listening
Time is the best thing for giving in
No one is listening
Time is the best thing for giving in
No one
She says
Idaho

She says

All that love all those mistakes
What else can a poor man make?
So I gave up a life of crime
I gave it to a friend of mine
Something else was on my mind
The only ghost I'm haunted by
I hear her howling down below
Idaho oh Idaho
Wolves oh wolves oh can't you see?
Ain't no wolf can sing like me
And if it could then I suppose
He belongs in Idaho
Packs of dogs and cigarettes
For those who ain't done packing yet
My clothes are packed and I want to go
Idaho oh Idaho
Out at sea for seven years I got your letter in Tangier
Thought that I'd been on a boat
'Til that single word you wrote
That single word it landlocked me
Turned the masts to cedar trees
And the winds to gravel roads
Idaho oh Idaho

In the back of a car on a road in the dark,
In the stillicide, silently falling snow,
I have packed everything that I own in a bag,
And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho,
A poem for leaving, a reason to go,
So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho.
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet,
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho,
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
And oh, I've been dumb, I've been perfectly beautiful,
Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth,
But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions,
And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself...
I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there
A universe riddle that only I know?
Mr. Robert he says, "It's all in the head!"
Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Idaho?
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
I don't want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet,
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Idaho,
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...

What if the sky in Idaho is black and dark?
What if the sun in Idaho doesn't set at all?
And what if I loved you with all of my heart?
And what if my love wasn't good enough?
What if the sky in Idaho is filled with clouds?
What if the sun in Idaho has burned out?
There'd be miles and miles behind us
We'd look back at the miles and miles we'd come
Don't tell me all those miles were for nothing
Don't tell me all of those miles were for nothing
What if the sky in Idaho is black and dark?
What if the sun in Idaho doesn't set at all?
And what if I loved you with all of my heart?
And what if my love wasn't good enough?
There'd be miles and miles behind us
We'd look back at the miles and miles we'd come
Don't tell me all those miles were for nothing
Don't tell me all of those miles were for nothing
With your arms around me, I think I can do this
With your help, I think that I can do this
Help me do this
Help me help you do this

There's another brazen day
Things kinda move that way
Good lord above, now he don't have to fuss
Not for good hardy people like us
Born with a weary eye
Plain to see, my oh my
These crazy ideas, oh they don't last long
But they come and they go in america
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
There's another fallen man
With hair I don't understand
Its just bout as long as my wife marlene
Don't it all kinda keep you to wondering
Staring at the stars above
Wonder what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i said hey
Everywhere i see, hey
Everywhere i see
There's another busted dream
Staring me right in the face
Good lord knows why we don't give in
Trying to leave, maybe run from this place
Instead of staring at the stars above
Wondering what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i say staring at the world from my home little idaho
Staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i say hey
Everywhere i see, hey

Thunderclouds have been making face
My friends are on the front porch getting wasted
Freedom sits aside of the hill
Calling me back but I never will
Yeah, we'll hang low
Like they do it out in Idaho
Don't run, we roll
As they're heading out to row this boat
Some say that shit's for dreamers
We pack up our things
And make our way to the theater
The suits will drop the ball again
We'll pass a hat and make another plan
Yeah, we'll hang low
Like they do it out in Idaho
Don't run, we roll
As we're calling up the radio
So there have been crimes of using words
We hear out in the distance a get over
The brother's got his eye on you
Walk a block and it'll tell the truth
Yeah, we'll hang low
Like they do it out in Idaho
Don't run, we roll
As we're heading out to row this boat
Don't run, we roll
As we're calling up the radio
Don't run, we roll

Going for a road trip in Idaho
My friends had money but no place to go
Sitting in the car, what have I done?
Looking for some fun
The tank was full and the engine roared
Tearing down the highway like a devil sword
My daddy doesn’t know I’ve gone away
He won’t catch me today
Hearing all the voices call
Come back
We headed to the station, needed some gas
The guy behind the counter asked
Which way are you going son?
Looking for some fun
Hearing all the voices call
Come back
And when we got to our destination
There was no-one there
And when we got to our destination
They were all dead
Going for a road trip in Idaho
We had no money and no place to go

The sun rose on the understay
With a click of a switch
The sub canopy roared when the
Business sign read open in neon lights
Climbing vines up desk, stools, pygmies and bats
Timecards and paychecks
The apes howl when you push the buttons in their stomachs
Hands play cymbals after a wind of a gear
The beetles and the birds
Are all pollinating flowers
Grown in the gardens of mansions
I am the primate that swings
From the man made apparatus
I am the vines that grow underneath
Florescent lights from carpeted floors
I am the primate that swings
From the man made apparatus
I am the vines that grow underneath
Florescent lights from carpeted floors
Let me climb these painted walls
And flourish in this man made habitat
Electronic talking parrots
Eating toothpicks as a mating ritual
The beast prays on it's employees
And eats on their summer's harvested fruits
The lion sleeps when it's antelope go home
I am he primate that swings
From the man made apparatus
I am the vines that grow underneath
Florescent lights from carpeted floors
I am he primate that swings
From the man made apparatus
I am the vines that grow underneath
Florescent lights from carpeted floors
I am he primate that swings
From the man made apparatus
I am the vines that grow underneath
Florescent lights from carpeted floors
I am he primate that swings
From the man made apparatus
I am the vines that grow underneath
Florescent lights from carpeted floors
Give me the sun before the night
Give me my wrong, I forfeit the right
Give me the sun before the night
Give me my wrong, I forfeit the right
Give me my kill and pay me well
Give me my pay, so I will pay my bills
Give me my kill and pay me well
Give me my pay, so I will pay my bills
Hear this
My life has become dry because of you
Insomnia, paranoia, anxiety
Dependence, relentless, worthlessness
You stole all my love
You stole all my love
You stole all my love
And I want it back
We are animals swinging

Can you paint with your eyes closed
Can you walk on the sea
Would you swim with your clothes on
And dance around and be free
Would you climb up a mountain
Climb your way to the top
Soar across the clear blue sky
And never let yourself drop
And I know
Sun always sets, the birds fly high
And the water is wet
People can laugh and others will cry
And I know we will be just fine
Be just fine
Did you ever drive away
In a car not your own
Drive across this country
Visit Idaho
And I know
Sun always sets, the birds fly high
And the water is wet
People can laugh and others will cry
And I know we will be just fine
Be just fine
And I know
Sun always sets, the birds fly high
And the water is wet
People can laugh and others will cry
And I know it will be just fine
Be just fine
And I know in the morning
The sun will rise
The light turns green
It will shine in your eyes
People grow older, and some grow wise
And I know we will be just fine
Be just fine
Be just fine

Still live, skin tight, make-up in the hall
A photograph of Garbo passing time on the wall
Every little thing but the truth
When you're big news, all used, cameras at the door
The film of your life takes a ride to New York
Every single frame has to end
As your sex lends appeal to a friend
Happy birthday
Have a nice day
Ripped off pin-up, cry out to belong
They can't love a woman now they've paid for a doll
Never trust a vulture to move
When he's looking for a shot in the nude
Happy birthday Mr. President
Have a nice day Mr. President
Your hair-man hovers round, make-up on the board
It was just a note -- a private joke -- "While I'm still warm"
The vultures queue up at the morgue
A dollar for a shot at the corpse
Happy birthday
Have a nice day
Happy birthday Mr. President
Have a nice day Mr. President

down in the bardo
there was nothing to hold so we let it go
we were empty, we were hollow
shined with everything we were living for
and you see your soul
like some picture show
across idaho
we were running through the autumn leaves
a couple kids just wearing out our jeans, running
mary she's our autumn queen
watch her smoking cigarettes in the street
and down she goes
cold she blows
across idaho
and there's lights up in the north
and i aint wondering where you are
yeah just lights up in the north
now it's white as snow
watch the evening glow

Going for a road trip in Idaho
My friends had money but no place to go
Sitting in the car, what have I done?
Looking for some fun
The tank was full and the engine roared
Tearing down the highway like a devil sword
My daddy doesn’t know I’ve gone away
He won’t catch me today
Hearing all the voices call
Come back
We headed to the station, needed some gas
The guy behind the counter asked
Which way are you going son?
Looking for some fun
Hearing all the voices call
Come back
And when we got to our destination
There was no-one there
And when we got to our destination
They were all dead
Going for a road trip in Idaho
We had no money and no place to go

Headlights staring down the road ahead
Your silence beside me
And I don't want to ask
Last night, I couldn't help the things I said
But you kept your distance
Hanging on another mask
Hard times knocking at our door again
You just can't fight it
You've forgotten how to win
Cold hands like a stranger's on your skin
Can't sleep beside you so our eyes close in the sun
Where can we go from here?
Where can we go?
We keep trying to get back
To Idaho
To Idaho
Old songs keep us dancing around the room
Stuck in circles
Nothing new to see
How long can one heart beat so confused?
We can't stay here waiting on another day
Where can we go from here?
Where can we go?
We keep trying to get back
To Idaho
To Idaho
To Idaho

From Stanley up to Sunbeam
from Clayton on to Chalice,
Heading down the Salmon river
To a rangeland palace
Sage brush all around
Where the deer and elk do roam
This place I may call home
Where the flatlands stretch for miles
And the mountains touch the sky
And the sun always shines
Chorus:
In Idaho, ohhhh
In Idaho, ohhhh
In Idaho, ohhhh
In Idaho
My mind is filled with images
Of saw-tooth bridges
Where the snow melt forms
Cold mountain creeks
Flowin' through the valley down below
I was standing 'neath the pine trees
On a bed of wild grass
This place has captured me, well far I can see
There ain't no place I'd rather be.

Certenely
To love can be a rhapsody
With one release
Your shadows all around to see
No one to know
A colder heart can't beat indeed
Pick up the pieces and start
Don't deny the fire in your heart
Before you know you walk right into
A lovers stroke that's so romantic
And even now tyou wanna band it
Oh nonono I wanna stand it
And anymore
He take me high high high
Everytime he's wanna try
Idaho I feel so fine
Idaho tell me why
Idaho
About a heart to go
Something inside feeling so fine
Every want to know
Don't you know
Way back in Idaho
Here by my side
Baby he comes
Way back in Idaho
Give me everything I long for
It's a miracle that you surrender
I let you know cause love is tender
And even now you understand it
And no no no no I can stand it
Not anymore
He takes me high high hig
