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 and
|
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...
|
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
|
|
'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,
|
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...
|
In Idaho.
