Idaho
History
This recording was made by the band some time in late 2002 or early 2003 on a 4-Track tape recorder. It features both the vocals & writing of Scott Jones.
It’s possible this song goes back to the bands 1000 West days, though no previous recordings have been found.
This track was remastered by The Goldeneyes (Scott Jones, Matt Glass & Mike Gross) in 2021 with the rest of the 4-Track Tapes (minus Dallons tracks) and the original mix was not obtained until 2024.
Lyrics
I met this girl I swear it was fate
I said I’d pick her up about a quarter to 8
For the town, not a sound
I’d seen her picture long before but
Oh when I saw her at the door
I fell down, on the ground
A smile cracked in her eyes
they sang that old Disney tune
[Taylor’s?] always time, she was fine
I wasn’t quite sure just what to say
But in my hand a hand she laid
I was [Bound?], and dumbfound
For 3 long years a real dry spell
In her arms you know I fell
No more frowns, I’m a hound
the traffic light says green let’s go
I hope you want to see that show, Idaho
