Long Road Back to Idaho

from Literally Main Street by Cataldo

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    We tracked and mixed this record to tape and cut the lacquers from those tapes--this thing has never touched a computer. Bernie is the definitive west coast vinyl mastering engineer. He cut "Aja", "Thriller", "Purple Rain", "The Chronic"...you get it. Vanderslice and I took a lot of care to get this just right and it sounds FANTASTIC.

    Proudly manufactured by Quality Record Pressing and Stoughton with lovely vintage tip-on style jackets. Beautiful artwork with photography from Rachel Demy, lyrics, detailed credits, and a full download with any order via bandcamp.

lyrics

Spent eighty dollars on the MAX
riding 'round on rail road tracks
for the first few weeks that summer.
Drinking tall cans of Lebatts,
sitting in each other’s laps,
at your dad's empty house in the suburbs.

Inviting over freaks and weirdos,
barfing on chaise lounge by the
window with the doors unlocked.
Learning to sweet talk the cops.
Yeah, let’s train to the city square.
You know some kids who hang out there.
They’ll yank my chain for smoking cloves
and the hangdog one will take you home.

I said, “I’m not sure what I’d do here alone...
but it's a long road back to Idaho."

The first thing that I did was steal a case
of Heineken without a place
to set it down for long.
I walked around all night but that felt wrong.
Woke up with rain upon my cheek,
called my parents, cried for weeks,
but life took pity on me.
I fell in with some new age Christian guys,
told a few white lies,
then worked through the winter roasting coffee.

Now you're out on Belmont breaking hearts,
teaching fitness martial arts.
Bumped into you in a bakery
and I think that you still grind your teeth.
I can’t tell if you still know me
or if I just don't know myself.
Losing track of every rhyme scheme,
happy we both have our health.

Man, that was a long time ago.
It's a long road back to Idahob
