Idaho – Xenia

Idaho, oh, Idaho
I’ve been thinking about the letters I wrote
It’s been so long, oh, Idaho
And I miss all the stories you told

Do you still play cards on that table?
Oh, while gun smoke fills the silence of the room
And all those belly laughs around that old fireplace
That’s how I will remember you best

Don’t forget me, Virginia
Even though your memories are gone
Lost in the metal so high and tall
But my darling, I’ll remember them all

Idaho, you’re just a man
Bent and tired from the years
Hands are broken from this heavy load you’ve been holding
Back down under roots to your little Idaho ago

So don’t forget me, Virginia
Even though your memories are gone
Lost in the metal so high and tall
But my darling, I’ll remember them all

Do you still play cards on that table?
Oh, while gun smoke fills the silence of the room
And all those belly laughs around that old fireplace
That’s how I will remember you best
