Black ice on the highway won't you slide me right back home
I been climbin' through the mountains,
I been cutting through the snow
Well I'm on my way to Stumptown where I got a lot of friends
Where your drinks are never dry
, where the sidewalks always wet,
so Take me back where
I won't get pushed around
Where all the girls are beautiful,
and everyone is down
It's a pretty little city,
it's a damn dirty town
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
We're Portland bound
Now I've been out a ramblin teaching lessons I been learnin
In the deserts and the canyons, with the smell of diesel burnin
Not everyone I meet is always
kind and understandin
So I'll spit into the wind,
grab the wheel until we've landed
Right back there where I won't get pushed around
Where all the girls are beautiful, and everyone is down
It's a pretty little city,
it's a damn dirty town
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
We're Portland bound
Now I've rode a lot of roads,
and seen a great and many places
But I long to be right back among the strange and rain stained faces
Where living free and easy is the general consensus
And ya still can raise a smile from all the hip and the pretentious
