Ketchum lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 song lyrics
