Idaho
John Linnell
Night-long
Vigil by the picture window.
Sleepy
Eyes never leave the road.
Past my bedtime
Miles ago.
Still haven't entered
Idaho.
There is a sign
Just up the way.
100 feet
From my front yard.
And though it's dark
I make it out.
It says that Idaho
Welcomes you.
Everybody's passed out.
They don't know
How close we are now.
Idaho.
(car alarm blares throughout)
Seen you.
Know everything about you.
Heard your
Air blowing 'cross my door.
Tantilizing.
Go man go.
Driving my house to
Idaho.
Almost there now.
Play that drumroll.
