I know there's a Dollar General on the way if you
Take West Main and turn or two
Pack of light blues and a liter of coke
Cheek to cheek cause she likes my jokes
Said I'd settle anywhere 'cept north for you
Cause ice cap Junes and snow won't do
But I get real bad when I'm far from you hon
Every time I go I get so undone
Jesus Christ and Mary too
A porch swing, creek, and a glass will do
When our wild and weary ways are through
I'll meet you in Idalou oh
Idalou, Idalou
You love me and I love you
I'll meet you in Idalou
Shot across the desert like a wildfire
Check engine and two flat tire
I'll work hard, honey work for hire
Sell my soul if you're the buyer
And you can stitch me up like a fixer up
Little gold leaf on an old broke cup
And I'll lift you up with you're in a slump
If I gotta a pulse and my breath and my heart does thump
Hit Fort Worth by the fourth there were fireworks
My eyes are sore and my temple hurts
But I see you in the fire in the red and blue
And sudden it was worth all the chasing you to
Idalou, Idalou
You love me and I love you
I'll meet you in Idalou
Idalou, Idalou
You love me and I love you
I'll meet you in Idalou
