I just covered Josh Ritter’s “Idaho” - it has some of my favourite lyrics ever:

Was out at sea for seven years,
got your letter in Tangier.
Thought that I’d been on a boat
until that single word you wrote.
That single word had landlocked me,
turned the masts to cedar trees
and the wind to gravel roads.
Idaho, Idaho.
