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?
lets 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
