There's another brazen day
Things kinda move that way
Good Lord above, now He don't have to fuss
Not for good hardy people like us

Born with a weary eye
Plain to see, my oh my
These crazy ideas, they don't last long
But they come and they go in America

And we're staring at the world from my home little Idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little Idaho

There's another fallen man
With hair I don't understand
It's just about as long as my wife Marlene
Don't it all kinda keep you to wondering

Staring at the stars above
Wonder what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby

And we're staring at the world from my home little Idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little Idaho
And I said hey
Everywhere I see
Everywhere I see

There's another busted dream
Staring me right in the face
Good Lord knows why we don't give in
Trying to leave, maybe run from this place

Instead of staring at the stars above
Wondering what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby

And we're staring at the world from my home little Idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little Idaho

Staring at the world from my home little Idaho
Staring at the world from my home little Idaho
And I say hey
Everywhere I see
Everywhere I see

Just saw the BoDeans at the peace Center in Greenville, SC on 3/17/23.  They - Were  - Amazing!

Agreed. The Bodeans still exist, but without Sammy's voice, it's not the same. But once you dig into the truly creepy behavior.....I'm surprised this is in rotation. 


I agree the allegations are ugly. But don't think I know the details. Let's listen.
Band member Bukka Allen is the son of legendary Texas songwriter Terry Allen. Apples and trees...
c.
liked this album a lot

I love the BoDeans, especially Sam Llamas voice. But finding out what a creep he is has shattered me.

Like so many other artists - does the despicable behavior lessen the talent.  Catch-22.

Huge gap between comments. 
Not many ratings (only 55)

I agree with aspicer's comment
Love these guys, great live band.
A right down the middle "quite likable" - not particularly special,  but nothing not to like.
Glad to hear this one back in rotation - love the BoDeans!
