Lyrics
I was firing words like poison darts
Shooting from the hip, aiming for the heart
I don't know why you couldn't just walk away
I had a bad day and a good excuse
I guess my demons were running loose
I said too much, and you had nothing to say
Now I'm standing in a snowfall in Coeur d'Alene
The most peaceful place that I've ever been
How I wish I were standing here with you
I jumped to conclusions then jumped in the car
Picked a direction then drove too far
Down a highway of burning bridges
To the quiet snow-kissed ridges of Coeur d'Alene
Cool mountain air and hardly a sound
A quiet peace that turned me around
I made the call to say I'd been a fool
But your phone's disconnected, and I know you're gone
Can't even tell you how bad I was wrong
One angry move and I've tossed away my jewel
Now I'm standing in a snowfall in Coeur d'Alene
The most peaceful place that I've ever been
How I wish I were standing here with you
I jumped to conclusions then jumped in the car
Picked a direction then drove too far
Down a highway of burning bridges
To the quiet snow-kissed ridges of Coeur d'Alene
Of Coeur d'Alene
