Ketchum lyrics

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Today I got my call from Ketchum Idaho
From Hemingway and railways and whiskey wine and snow
But if you ve never been in pain before then I guess you wouldn t know
I m leaving in a while now for Ketchum s icy sting
To walk and fish and write some songs, to stay up late and drink
And if I stay there long enough then I ll never feel a thing
And Ketchum will be good to you if are strong and brave
She caters to the melancholy every single day
And babbles like a drunk old man unloading all his pain
I ll lock myself in Ketchum s stare I ll make her my whole world
I m gonna roam the Ketchum streets to find a Ketchum girl
And then I ll let her break my heart cos that s all that I do well
The valley will become my home her hills will keep me safe
I ll give her songs about my soul when there s no soul left to take
And I ll forget I ever lived in any other place
And it may seem inevitable I would love this fate
So beautiful and tragic and her heroes can t escape
And Hemingway he shot himself one July evening late
But me I couldn t bring myself to bloody Ketchum s name
Underneath her passion boils, never spoils surface tame
I ll slowly let her kill me with her lonely wind and rain
Her lonely tears and pain
