Greg Brown I Must Be In Oregon Lyrics

Let me make it clear
It rains in Seattle more than it does here
We have lots of fun
Raising bananas one by one
I must be, I must be in Oregon.

The sky is hanging low
As a clothesline full of clothes
As your hair all full of rain
As my heart sometimes does
I must be, oh I must be in Oregon.

My life, it got too wild
Down the hole I followed Alice
When I needed peace and quiet
Well, I popped up in Corvallis
I must be, I must be in Oregon.

If you want a little snow
Up to Mount Hood you can go
My baby blows me away
In lingerie and Pendleton
I must be, I must be in Oregon.

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, sun, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, sun
I must be, I must be in Oregon.

I'm gonna go up on the Umpqua
Catch me a big old trout
I'm gonna go up on the Umpqua
And drag his bad ass trout ass out.

Well just the other day
My friend Jim stopped by to say
His old Volvo didn't die
It just completely rusted away
I must be, I must be in Oregon.

Ah, my baby loves me so
Outside we never go
We play Scrabble by the fire
Make love 'til we expire
I must, I must be in Oregon.

There's rain down in the alleys
Rain down in the street
It was raining when we parted
It'll rain next time we meet
And I must, I must be in Oregon.
I know I must be, I must be in Oregon.
