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
