    Ketchum

    by: Ben Lee

    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
