Adios Idaho

Last place I saw Ronnie, was a bar up in Sandpoint We's knockin' back Cuervo like it's goin' outta style He just came off the road, haulin' logs from Missoula Needed a shower, a shave and a smile

He said, "I used to think truckin' was a ticket to freedom But here is my promise, Bro Soon I'll be livin' with some senorita Down on the bay 'round Playa Rojo"

Via con dios' Go with the flow But, take care when you're sayin' "Adios Idaho"

Ron, I've heard that stuff since we was both kids Dreamed we'd be hombres, two brave buckaroos You ain't getting' no closer, just grayer and older You'll be back in this tavern in a week, maybe two

He said, I just got me a visa, and mean when I say I'll be there before you know Buyin' margaritas for good lookin' Chiquita's While you're plowin' through the Coeur d' Alene snow"

Via con dios' Go with the flow But, take care when you're sayin' "Adios Idaho"

Then he staggered out, fired up his Kenworth Headed toward Boise down Route Ninety-five They say that he jackknifed just North of Riggins If he wore his damn seatbelt, might still be alive

Now I stand on the shore with a handful of ashes On the Gulf of Mexico Mixin' sand and the surf and my drinkin' buddy Farewell mi Amigo. Now, go with the flow You kept that promise. Go with the flow

Adios Idaho (Repeat/fade)
