I suppose I'm lucky that I didn't have to hear her cry
Nothing breaks you down like the sound of your girl's goodbye
I 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've 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
There's gotta be a better way than how I'm living mine
For the life of her and probably for the life of me

I won't be going back to Boise, Idaho
You steal my keys if I say I'm about to go
'Cause nothing's worth the hell I put her through
If I could do it all again, I still wouldn't know what to do

She has a name
And a way
Making everything seem okay
Lord, I'm confused
And I don't 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
I ain't going back to Boise
I ain't going back to Boise, Idaho
I ain't going back to Boise
