Only Idaho, Forever Lyrics by Harrison Lemke

Forever Only Idaho

2021

Last night everything froze over;
It's back to work today
The car's warming up out in the weekday street:
The sound of someone else's money being made
And the highways curve
And the trucks barrel down them like pain down a nerve
But there's only one place they ever go:
Forever only Idaho
Billboards proclaiming salvation
All the way to work
But if it's Christ or the Powerball or quitting cigarettes
Well — it's hard to tell for sure
And a song comes on
One that made you feel better in days that are gone
But there's only one place the echoes go:
Forever only Idaho
Fools with dollar signs for eyes
Have been selling you your life
One weekend at a time, saying you'll go far
But you're still nowhere, so far
And the ponderosa pines leave their branches behind
Like they're trying to leave the ground
And sometimes they drop a load of snow into the snow
And it disappears without a sign or a sound
And they stand so tall
Like they're made for more than power lines and dirty strip malls
But there's only one place they'll ever grow:
Forever only Idaho
Forever, only Idaho
