Portland Woman (JOHN DAWSON)

WE PULLED INTO PORTLAND TOWN
WE 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

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

YOU SEE I NEED ME A PORTLAND WOMAN
I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE TONIGHT
I WANT TO GET ME A PORTLAND WOMAN
PORTLAND WOMEN TREAT YOU RIGHT
PORTLAND'S GONNA BE MINE TONIGHT

WE PULLED OUT OF PORTLAND TOWN
ALMOST RIGHT ON TIME
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I HAD FOUND
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
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
