I spose I'm lucky that I didn't have to hear her cry
Nothing gets you down like the sound of your girls goodbye
Wanna speak my mind but I can't find the words
For the life of me, and probably for the life of her
I won't be going back to Boise, Idaho
I'm off my game and I got no more cards to show
I played em all somewhere along the way
Then I got called and now there's hell to pay
No-one really know the best way to live your life
Gotta be a better way than how I been living mine
For the life of her and probably for the life of me
I won't be going back to Boise, Idaho
Steal my keys if I say I'm about to go
Nothing's worth the hell I put her through
I hope you'd do the same if you were in my shoes
(Break)
She has a name
And a way
Of making everything seem okay
I'm (just) telling you
So you know
Why I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
Why I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
Why I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
