Van Dyke Parks - Idaho lyrics

She tended bar in Idaho Looking for somewhere to be Oh she tended bar in Idaho Guessing that would be easy What do you want? How can I help you? The simplest of lines Are just as simple as you like it How can I help you? Let's go another route Fill a hole and fill a head Another space and nothing said He went away to Idaho Leaving behind something grim Oh he went away to Idaho Hoping that she would forget him Can you make change? Your life is still switched on For what it is and what it was It's closing time But still we're open the next day Fill a seat and settle in Drink the same drink Think the same thing She tended bar in Idaho Looking for somewhere to be Oh she tended bar in Idaho Guessing that would be easy Nothing is easy Nothing is easy when nothing is done Right the same wrong Sing the same song He went away to Idaho Leaving behind something grim Oh he went away to Idaho And all that he left came back to get him
