about

A road song for when plans go awry, things go dark, and your past is about to catch up with you...The Handsome Family meets the Manson Family in "Driving to Idaho."

"Driving to Idaho" is a crime ballad…it builds and builds in both intensity and paranoia, without the music changing all that much. Instead, Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris increase the intensity of the song with their vocals, while still trying to pretend they have their shit together.” - If It's Too Loud

lyrics

Shovel in the back seat
Secrets in the front
Try to keep your shit together
Don’t open up the trunk
Fly under the radar
Keep your profile low
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho

Something might have happened
You don’t talk about
Make sure that the tail light
Isn’t burned out
Better watch out
Better take it slow
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho

Listen for the siren
Watch for flashing lights
Stick to the speed limit
Travel day and night
What doesn’t hurt you
Is what you don’t know
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho

Did you need to go too far
Did you do what you had to do
Make a wish on a shooting star
And hope it’s not aiming at you

Idaho
Idaho
Idaho
Idaho

Shouting at the windshield
Rain is coming down
Just another day
Till the money runs out
Take a deep breath
It’s all under control
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho

Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
Driving to Idaho
