Lyrics
Portland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This place looks nothing like where I come from
The trees they turn later, the sky comes undone
We drove all night through Couer d'Alene, and I woke with the sun
Onwards to Portland, Oregon (hmm)
I just want to leave to say that I did
Nothing against all the green fields of my childhood
But I'm drivin' through all the same places that I used to
I'm gone to Portland, Oregon (hmm)
If am lost, I am lost on purpose
Please God don't find me
If I am running, I am running away all on my own
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost
Nobody cares if the foundation's cracked
As long as it looks good when somebody asks
Yet I've got a man who loves me despite what I lack
We're goin' to Portland, Oregon if anyone asks
If am lost, I am lost on purpose
Please God don't find me
If I am running, I am running away all on my own
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost (hmm)
