Long Road Back to Idaho lyrics

Spent eighty dollars on the MAX
Riding 'round on railroad 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 Idaho
