Story Behind The Song
Living in Portland, Oregon and experiencing the weather would have to be the story for The Friends of Rock-n-Roll.
Song Description
This song is about living in Portland, Oregon where it rains about nine months out of the year. The basic simple tenet of the song, is that the singer doesn't mind, that the weather can't get him down. Some of the tone of the singers voice and the tenseness of the verse implies that it does get on the nerves though slightly

Lyrics
Oh I live in a town
Where the sun don't never shine
Yes I live in a town
Where the sun don't never shine
Chorus: I don't mind, All the cold and rain
All them cloudy skies
So dull and grey, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind
If the sun don't ever shine
Oh I don't mind if the sun don't never shine
Repeat chorus
I don't mind (x8)
