Lyrics: John Dawson
Music: 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 am goin' 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 goin' up and asking her, hey, would you like to go?
Chorus
You see, I need me a Portland woman
I don't want to be alone tonight
I wanna 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 goin' back to Portland town, now, what more can I say
[chorus]
