Idaho - Authentic Country Song | American Folk Ballad of the Gem State

LYRIC:

Out in Idaho, where the big sky glows,  

The Sawtooth mountains put on a show.  

With the Snake River runnin' wild and free,  

Yeah that's home to me, oh can't you see?  


Oh, we're livin' that simple life in the Gem State,  

Where neighbors still wave and it feels so great.  

From Shoshone Falls to Hells Canyon's might,   

Under porchlight glowin', we'll dance through the night.  


In Sun Valley where we ride those ranges wide,  

Catchin' memories like fish on the river side.    

Tater tots sizzlin', BBQ smell in the air-   

You'd better believe we've got plenty to share!    


Oh, we're livin' that simple life in the Gem State,   

Where neighbors still wave and it feels so great.   

From Shoshone Falls to Hells Canyon's might,

Under porchlight glowin', we'll dance through the night.


Wide open spaces with stars up above;     

This is our land - it's pure as real love.      

Frontier pride runnin' deep in our souls-     

Together we stand while this good times roll!   


Oh, we're livin' that simple life in the Gem State,

Where neighbors still wave and it feels so great.

In Sun Valley sunsets or fishin' at dawn,

Idaho has my heart – forever I'm drawn.


So come ride with me 'neath these endless skies;     

We'll find joy together as time gently flies.      

For Idaho shines like a treasure chest blessed- 

Our own little haven-the true Gem of the West!

Hillbilly Music: From Appalachian Roots to Global Legacy
