There's a road it's said That's claimed ten thousand dead Marked in blood and bones And crosses in the snow The hills up there No they haven't a care Whether you live or die Or how fast you go Idaho Well the people and their plans Were built in fryin' pans Filled with taters and ham And big sky gold They say above the clouds That you can scream out loud And it never makes a sound If you're falling all alone Idaho There was nothing I could do for you 'Cept crossing our love from my past And as that border draws near I can almost see through The tears As I make my way over the pass Papa Hemingway died there Blow-drying his hair And the earth never blinked while he froze So if you think you make a damn To the grand in the plan You better take another look at the show They got in Idaho
