Portland Bound - Fruition

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
