The Juke Box II

Josh Ritter - Idaho
When he played in one venue, they turned the lights off...and you saw was darkness...and the song
for another friend here that I miss....@Meister



All that love all those mistakes
What else can a poor man make?
So I gave up a life of crime
I gave it to a friend of mine
Something else was on my mind
The only ghost I'm haunted by
I hear her howling down below
Idaho oh Idaho

Wolves oh wolves oh can't you see?
Ain't no wolf can sing like me
And if it could then I suppose
He belongs in Idaho
Packs of dogs and cigarettes
For those who ain't done packing yet
My clothes are packed and I want to go
Idaho oh Idaho

Out at sea for seven years
I got your letter in Tangier
Thought that I'd been on a boat
Til that single word you wrote
That single word it landlocked me
Turned the masts to cedar trees
And the winds to gravel roads
Idaho oh Idaho
 
John Denver...Bill Danoff - Country Roads
John Denver made it famous but Bill Danoff wrote it...the most beautiful state in America...West Virginia :)
