about

I wrote this song about my family of origin and about moving into a more authentic space. We live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so the reference to "Private Idaho" is more a reference of creating a space for yourself where you feel honored and safe and not listening to those around you who try to hold or keep you down.

lyrics

Whatta you say we call it a day and lay our troubles down.
They see it their way and I see it mine just like thunder rolling through town.
Best intentions fall so flat when they make me feel unseen.
Just like a bad guy in an old time Western, I’m going to “giddyup” from this scene.
CHORUS:
Had to find my own Private Idaho.
One… with an exceptional view.
Surround myself with love.
And baby I got my eye on you.

Isolation and rejection
It seems like “us and them.”
A history of pain, an ocean of truth
And the lies of brothers and men
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
They say it’s only their way.
Or I should hit the highway.
So I’m going my own way.
I’m hittin’ the Highway.

Whispers and lies won’t hold me back
From a future I have named
I speak up, I stick out
I’m my own season of change
CHORUS 2X
