Lyrics
Mm, mm-mm October third, the offer letter came, Idaho on top, my name spelled right. I waited till the ballgame ended, Said, "Babe, I've got some news tonight." Six years in, I hadn't finished Saying Idaho out loud When you said, "Take the job." No breath, no pause, no look my way, Just the radio humming low, And I heard it plain as day You said it too fast, Like you had it ready all along. I'm not mad, I'm just asking, Did you have to think at all? Oh, you said it too fast, Before my words were even gone. By Tuesday you had the moving quote, Nine hundred twelve dollars, one way. You said, "Mountains will suit you," And you've never seen one in your life. I stood there holding that letter, Last to know my own good news. Guess I'm a slow reader. No breath, no pause, no look my way, Just the radio humming low, And I heard it plain as day You said it too fast, Like you had it ready all along. I'm not mad, I'm just asking, Did you have to think at all? Oh, you said it too fast, Before my words were even gone. Here's what I never told you, Not even when I packed: I was hoping you'd ask me to stay. Just one "wait," just one "don't," I'd have torn that letter in half. You said it too fast, Like you had it ready all along. Now I'm asking, and you're quiet, Guess that's one way to answer. Oh, you said it too fast, Before my words were even gone. You said it too fast...
