Greg Brown - I Must Be In Oregon lyrics

Let me make it clear It rains in Seattle more than it does here We have lots of fun Raising bananas one by one I must be, I must be in Oregon. The sky is hanging low As a clothesline full of clothes As your hair all full of rain As my heart sometimes does I must be, oh I must be in Oregon. My life, it got too wild Down the hole I followed Alice When I needed peace and quiet Well, I popped up in Corvallis I must be, I must be in Oregon. If you want a little snow Up to Mount Hood you can go My baby blows me away In lingerie and Pendleton I must be, I must be in Oregon. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, sun, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, sun I must be, I must be in Oregon. I'm gonna go up on the Umpqua Catch me a big old trout I'm gonna go up on the Umpqua And drag his bad a** trout a** out. Well just the other day My friend Jim stopped by to say His old Volvo didn't die It just completely rusted away I must be, I must be in Oregon. Ah, my baby loves me so Outside we never go We play Scrabble by the fire Make love 'til we expire I must, I must be in Oregon. There's rain down in the alleys Rain down in the street It was raining when we parted It'll rain next time we meet And I must, I must be in Oregon. I know I must be, I must be in Oregon
