I might just hang here for a while
To the red dirt floor, ohh ho
Mamas hangin' hand me downs
Daddy's in the hotel bar
Runnin' naked through the yard
Tryin' to take you for a ride
The pushers and the pullers
Come on, come on
The sun's settin' outside
From the mansions on the hilltop
I smoked my last cigarette
Standin' in out of the rain
To the city of the roses
There's a cool wind blowin'
Amtrak down the coastline
And as I walk these streets around
With a bitter city smile
The richest and the poor
Pull into the station
See the best and the worst here
Portland is a small town
Kids recitin' mother goose
Down the alley by the depot
