Lyrics
PORTLAND
By Randi McMatthew
Hey, girl, you look so fine
The minute I laid eyes on you I lost my mind,
But I didn?t feel what I wanted to feel
And we just hit the end of the line.
I said, "Cheer up, doll, this world is big and round
I?ll see you with Mary Sue and Sally and the girls around town
Nothin? lasts forever; don?t let it get you down
So long, girl, I?ll see you around."
CHORUS
See you around,
How I want to see you around.
See you around,
Never crossed my mind you?d leave town.
Now I fall asleep with the radio on
And catch the traveler?s report at the crack of dawn
I? got a full time obsession now that you?re gone
Is rain fallin? in Portland?
That hurricane is happenin? way down south
But, hold on, Houston, it?s on its way out
Ah, but, that?s not the storm I worry about
Is rain fallin? in Portland?
REPEAT CHORUS
See you around
How I want to see you around
See you around
Never crossed my mind you?d leave town.
Springfield skies, gonna be sunny and clear
In Austin, we got more rain than we?ve seen all year
But, I didn?t hear what I wanted to hear
Is rain fallin? in Portland?
