Exonerated

Let off on a technicality!

Praise God for technicalities!

Even the DA's got to fold 'em now and then

Weep to see the winter sun

The Wednesday morning just begun;

Post Falls never looked so beautiful

And it never will again

Zip's Drive-In, old red S-15;

The banks and strip malls in between;

Drab walls raised in the seventies, way back when

Hot coffee and an ice cream cone

And a vision meant for you alone

Post Falls never looked so beautiful

And it never will again

Even the modular homes —

The low grey cell blocks of the high school —

You might learn something from it

If you weren't such a fool

Scrub your uniform by hand

Bury all the contraband

Better a Christmas behind the counter than in the pen

Vow to quit your lowdown ways

In a year or two, if not today

Post Falls never looked so beautiful

And it never will again

Post Falls never looked so beautiful

And it never will again

Again...
