Bitterroot Valley

Bill Soden

Sun dropped fast
Night rolled in
Lost in the Bitterroot
Place I’d never been
Needed some shuteye
Couldn’t drive
Pulled my car over
Slept by the side

Sun woke me up
House to the right
Maybe they were sleeping
Went slow up the drive
Standing on the porch
Figured what the hell
I knocked on the door
Opened by an angel

Bitterroot Valley
Found me a lady
Bitterroot Valley
No ifs, ands or maybes

Said I’m a lost one
She said you’ve been found
How about a coffee
Set yourself down
Said I’m a lost one
She said you’ve been found
Take a load off
Set yourself down

She mentioned a dance
Downtown that night
If you’re sticking around
Why not give it a try
A big room and bar
A country motif
She taught me the two step
All new to me
