From CClayton on to Challis
  FHeading down the CSalmon river
  FTo a Crangeland palace
  FSage Cbrush all aDround

Where the Gdeer and elk do roam
This Cplace I may call home
  FWhere the flatlands Cstretch for miles
  FAnd the mountains Ctouch the sky

[Chorus]
In IdaEmho,  Cohh ho Dohh  x3
In IdaEmho
[Verse 3]
My mind is filled with images
Of saw-tooth ridges
Where the snow melt forms
Cold mountain creeks
Flowin' through the valley down below
[Verse 4]
I was standing 'neath the pine trees
On a bed of wild grass
This place has captured me, wild flowers I can see
There ain't no place I'd rather be.
[Chorus]
Finish with the Intro Riff and you're done
