New Riders of the Purple Sage
Portland Woman
[Verse 1]
We pulled into Portland town
We've been on the road
Rock and rolling for the crowd
Three more nights to go
But if I don't find someone tonight
I just won't make it through
I'm going out in Portland town
And see what I can do
[Verse 2]
You know, it's very cold in Portland town
This time of the year
I wouldn't mind if I could find
Someone to hold me near
And there's a little girl
She looks lost and lonely
Backstage at the show
I'm going up and asking her
"Hey, would you like to go?"
[Chorus]
You see I need me a Portland woman
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I wanna get me a Portland woman
Portland women treat you right
Portland's gonna be mine tonight
[Verse 3]
Oh, we pulled out of Portland town
Almost right on time
The little girl that I had found
Now, her I left behind
But I haven't felt too good
Since I left Portland yesterday
I'm going back to Portland town
Now, what more can I say?
[Chorus]
I wanna get me a Portland woman
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I wanna get me a Portland woman
Portland women treat you right
Portland's gonna be mine tonight
[Outro]
They say that Portland women treat you right
Portland's gonna be mine tonight
I'm going back to my Portland woman
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I'm going back to my Portland woman
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Yeah, the Portland women treat you right
