Somewhere beneath that old willow tree we met to say goodbye
You promised that you'd write and tell me 'bout your life
You said I won't cry if you don't cry
Your warm embrace on that frosty night oh I wish I'd known it then
That this would be the last and I'd never see you back
Back to this old town again
It won't be long now it won't be easy
Just tell me what to do and I can start
See I'm headed northbound just to find out
The hell it is I did to break your heart
To break your heart
Now far away in a different state many miles from end to end
Still wishing you'd come home come back to Idaho but
I won't break if you won't bend
And I miss the pine in your soft brown eyes
Freckles from the summer sun
And though the days are gone when we were wild and young
If you called me now you know I'd come
It won't be long now it won't be easy
Just tell me what to do and I can start
See I'm headed northbound just to find out
The hell it is I did to break your heart
To break your heart
Somewhere beneath that old willow tree you said it's for the best
And we could still be friends but we both knew what that meant
There aint no coming back from this
It won't be long now it won't be easy
Just tell me what to do and I can start
See I'm headed northbound just to find out
The hell it is I did to break your heart
It won't be long now it won't be easy
Just tell me what to do and I can start
See I'm headed northbound just to find out
The hell it is I did to break your heart
To break your heart
