Lyrics:
Modesto isn’t boring like you thought it would be
Modesto it’s not bologna like you thought it would be
Modesto isn’t lonely like you thought it would be

At first I got a vacuum cleaner salesman job
For men I later recognized in Glengarry Glen Ross
I only sold one
She couldn’t afford it
She wrote out the check
And burst out sobbing

After work I hung out with my new church friends and traded stories
We decided I should quit and then we laughed and carried on til morning
Next day I got a part-time job at the local guitar store

Modesto isn’t boring like you thought it would be
Modesto it’s not bologna like you thought it would be
Modesto isn’t lonely like you thought it would be

I heard the perfect song at work today
Having asked if there were bands to see and spots to play
Jim said hell yeah then he handed me a tape

What I heard in my walkman headphones
Pacing by the speakers and PAs
Was a beautiful hilarious tragic mess
That sent tears streaming down my face
Grabbed me by the lapels, stood me up, and put a 4-track in my hand and told me son
Make all the messes you can manage to make

And move back to Seattle
Be the drummer in a band
There’s a girl from there that fridays on my lunch break
I write letters to
And I think she likes me too
And I'm gonna find out
I'm gonna go to bible college on my cousin’s dime
In my volvo wagon
Speeding up I-5

I feel like Modesto’s Board of Tourism and Chamber of Commerce really needs to capitalize on this. I see billboards “Modesto Not Boring As You Thought It Would Be”

I hear the influence of Modesto band Grandaddy

this song is great. it touches on a lot of themes that are relevant to any young person's journey. working a job you hate, figuring out your path in life, and discovering grandaddy. its something we can all relate to.

This man can make a song about anything and I’ll dance with arms flailing.

"I wonder if this is gonna be about Grandaddy?" haha. beautiful!

This might be the most beautiful song I've heard in three years. So much simplicity, honesty; pathos. Thank you.

If you are in your mid-50s and have gone through enough already, this song touches deep

alejandrocurado

One of the most emotive songwriters of all time. it’s almost as if he paints a picture and places you as the listener in it. This song kicks ass!

Holy shit!!! That was GREAT! Got me buzzing.

East coast but from Modesto! I keep in constant contact with friends, Porchfest!!!!

Modesto is a really weird place and quite unexpected, so this whole song checks out. I really enjoyed the use of vacuums and walkmens as well. Keep going, David! Great to hear the new tune.
