Ron Pope - Twin Falls Idaho lyrics

Flat on my back halfway through a six pack Hear the neighborhood kids as they pay And the fire hydrant sprays on this mid august day God I wish I was so far away She hitchhiked south down from Kalispell now I am trying to recall how we met She saw me stare as she tied up her hair At a diner three miles outside Of twin falls, Idaho late one night And I offered her a ride But she said “Let’s stay the night” Dragged her nails hard down my back Until the crimson blood dripped down on sheets so white She washed across the Northern Planes Like a storm with no name, she was gone in three days How I wish she stayed to rain on me Ooh, and I thought I was safe Swearing these winds of change could not blow us away But I learned I would pay for my mistakes At a diner three miles outside Of twin falls, Idaho late one night Like a half ton of bricks I’m laid down by my sins ‘Cause the temple where I used to pray Is corrupt and profane, I blaspheme in her name In a city where she’s never been At least I have her name on my lips Kept her hand right on her gun And she cursed when she was done With her breath hot on my neck Whispered “Something to remember me, my love” She washed across the Northern Planes Like a storm with no name, she was gone in three days How I wish she stayed to rain on me Ooh, and I thought I was safe Swearing these winds of change could not blow us away But I learned I would pay for my mistakes At a diner three miles outside Of twin falls, Idaho late one night
