All I need to know

never been to Mexico
never seen Idaho
never reached for the sky
never even wondered why

my two feet upon the ground
spending days looking down
only thing I define
your shadow next to mine

and the only words I need to know
are those three carved long ago
when the day is gone
and the lights turned out
I will know what life's about

when November rolls around
when the snow is on the ground
when your footprints drift my way
you will bring a sunny day

as my thoughts begin to fade
and my passion turns to gray
everything I've ever known
came from you alone

and the only words I need to know
are those three carved long ago
when the day is gone
and the lights turned out
I will know what life's about

never been to Mexico
never seen Idaho
never reached for the sky
never even wondered why
