Boat Box | Idaho

from A Song For Every State by Travis Ehrenstrom

/

lyrics

In boat box burning, feet are on fire,

On the day that Ernest Hemingway decided to die.

I guess I should’ve known, our heroes let us down.


Looking out across the valley and the fields of light,

Deep into the unknown of the other side,

If I were him I’d lay here forever too.

In the darkness at the heart of what we do.



You haunt your bar where I sang your praise,

I told them of your glory days.

But an ancient drunk, is all they ever knew.


This old world breaks everyone,

No one leaves this life unharmed.

In the end, the only thing you’ve got is time.

With it, find the meaning of your life.


Is it a dream?

Is it your own?

Is it something you’ll never know?

I hope you find what you sought,

In Infinity rivers and mountains for days.


I heard there was a rocket man,

He tried to jump that canyon’s gap.

And ended up a pile of broken bones.


I’m glad they tell his story still,

The crazy ones remember well.

He’s out there still, in the craters of the moon.

Evel with a smile on, just passing through.
