I don't know what called you to me or why
On your back like a roach lookin ready to die
Well I can hear Fire and Smoke callin your name
Yeah bring that terror on home to Coeur D'Alene
You're just sayin the same old things again
You're drunk and you're mumblin and you're stuck in your head
Well ain't nothin different, Ain't nothin the same
I tell you I'm leaving, leaving Coeur d'Alene
The new Sherif in Hayden he's gettin on fine
Well he was run off the coast but now he's with his kind
Well ain't nothin different ain't nothin the same
Yeah bring that terror on home to Coeur d'Alene
You and the boys been building your fence real high
Walkin round the compound with your guns at your side
Well you say you're angry, yeah well you're just afraid
Yeah bring that terror on home to Coeur d'Alene
And passing time looks like bruises honey,
Or nightshade below my eyes
And I've got nothin but time to lose, honey
And an itch to scratch before I die
Well the mountains are blue and the rivers clear
I ain't never been anywhere else but here
Except where I go when I can't bare the pain
Lookin down from the air up above Coeur d'Alene
They say you can get use to just about anything
But ain't nothin so cold as a wedding ring
And the hate that you hold
And that shit that you pray
Yeah bring that terror on home to Coeur d'Alene
You been putting me down all day and night
Put your hands on our son one too many times
Well I can hear Fire and Smoke callin your name,
Yeah bring that terror on home to Coeur d'Alene
I've been talkin to God myself, honey
Do you know what He says to me?
That I've got nothin but an itch to scratch, honey,
And time to kill before we meet.
You're just sayin the same old things again
You're drunk and you're mumblin and you're stuck in your head
Well ain't nothin different, Ain't nothin the same
You're drunk and I hate you and I'm leaving Coeur d'Alene
I don't know what called you to me or why.
Your last breath on your knees out between the pines.
Well I can see Fire and Smoke.
