From the album ‘A Soldier, A Saint An Ocean Explorer’ (2007) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/finn_riggins

Let’s move to Alaska
They’ll pay us to live there
And we can run across the Bering Strait
Buy spices for our families there
And run back across and still get paid
We’ll kayak all the rivers no matter how deep or wide
Hunt the elk herds like they’re cattle with our guns and laser sights
We’ll go fishing with bows and arrows and sticks of dynamite
Sink our beer cans to the bottom in the early morning light
We’re miners in the 1900s in a little booming town
Idaho City, Idaho City, Idaho City, Idaho
Where we’re pannin for gold
Always pannin for gold
Pannin for gold in Idaho City, Idaho
Pannin for gold, always pannin for gold
And we’ll shoot our neighbors if they start pannin our own
Pannin our own claim
If you see me wrestling a grizzly bear and readin him his rights
You’ll know I’m wearin a hat I ain’t never worn before
Not a beret or a cowboy hat or a baseball cap
No a little black cap like Charlie Chaplin used to wear
And a nice black suit and I got a picture camera
A picture camera takes pictures, freezes moments in time
Like of you standing there by the old post office
Where I tie my ‘ol stick pony to the post to the post
I tie my ‘ol stick pony to the post outside the ‘ol post office which is also a bar

Few bands know the United States as well as Finn Riggins. Since the release of the group’s TLE debut in 2007, the Idaho indie rock outfit’s members have spent most of their time in a van together, at one point averaging over 200 shows a year. Which is not to say there’s any love lost between Finn Riggins and its home town of Boise: To the contrary, the band is heavily invested in and beloved by the local music scene, and keyboardist/vocalist Eric Gilbert is a founder of Boise’s high-profile Treefort Music Festival, now preparing for its fourth year. And Boise loves Finn Riggins back: Among the band’s local supporters are local legends Built to Spill, who have enlisted the group as support on a handful of tours.
