Pocatello

Bimini Road, Madison Gazebo Concert Series, July, 2002.

[chorus]
All the way to Pocatello, all the way to Pocatello
All the way to Pocatello, all the way to Pocatello

Have you heard about this lovely garden spot?
A man won't ever need whatever it ain't got.
Wherever it lies, in the world or in my brain
I've seen it once before and I must see it again.

How long ago it's been since I gazed upon that scene
Ten years and ten days lie like a lazy dream
Ten million miles or more I must have passed them by
But I can't wait no more for that Pocatello sky!

[bridge]
In Pocatello , they say you never weep
In Pocatello , the rivers all run deep
In Pocatello , the mountains all look down
The blood inside your veins it joins them underground
You roll around awhile, and wash away your sin
Then burst upon the air and sing upon the wind

[2^nd chorus]
I - - - - - - - - - - - de Ho! I - - I - - I - - I - - de Ho!
I - - - - - - - - - - - de Ho! I - - I - - I - - I - - de Ho!

I almost made it once, like Moses there I stood.
Across the river there, Pocatello looked so good
How far must one man go to get to where he's bound?
How deep must one man dig to find what can't be found?

[last chorus]
All the way to Pocatello , All the way to Pocatello
(I - - - - - - - - - - - de Ho!)          All the way to Pocatello
(I - - I - - I - - I - - de Ho!)           All the way to Pocatello
(I - - - - - - - - - - - de Ho!)          All the way to Pocatello
(I - - I - - I - - I - - de Ho!)           All the way to Pocatello
