Idaho Lyrics - Singles - Michael C. Perry

The letter came and I was off to my new carrier 

All I needed was a bright new jacket and to pack all my gear. 

Jump in the car and watch LA in my rear view mirror 

Listening to the static passing railroad tears 

She got home and I handed her the good news 

She didn't smile, didn't cry or show blue 

Just tilted her head as a curious puppy would do 

Then laughed out loud and walked into the next room. 

Singing No no no 

I don't want to go 

They have blue fields 

And almost snow 

No to Idaho 

Behind that wall her rhyme echoed to me 

I hoped you like living around all those great big trees 

But trees bring bees and bees always sting 

And I've been stung enough outside these city streets 

Singing No no no 

I don't want to go 

They have blue fields 

And almost snow 

No to Idaho 

Would you go if I bought you a great big diamond ring 

Would you go if I told you I love you every day. 

Would you go if I promise to always keep you safe 

Im sure you won't get stung outside these city gates 

Fifteen miles from highway 93 

Windows reflecting all those great big trees 

I looked over and she smiles at me 

I better get that big new diamond ring 

Would you go if I bought you a great big diamond ring 

Would you go if I told you I love you every day. 

Would you go if I promise to always keep you safe 

Im sure you won't get stung outside these city gates
