Portland from Hey Child by Stephen Henderson

Started off in Sharon
Heading westbound through Purdue
I wish we detoured south to New Orleans
One hundred thousand miles, and still my destination's you
Winding down the highways to our dreams

'Cause you are prettier than Portland
Lovelier than Los Angeles in June
More beautiful than Brooklyn
And sweeter than Seattle when it's blue

Colorado, California
Durango to Santa Cruz
From Boulder on through Salt Lake in the snow
I've spent too long in the fast lane
And I always miss the view
So hold my hand and we can take it slow

'Cause you are prettier than Portland
Lovelier than Los Angeles in June
More beautiful than Brooklyn
And sweeter than Seattle when it's blue

You drive me crazy baby
And I've been feeling lately
There's nowhere else I'd be
Then riding shotgun wherever you please

In every condition
I had a premonition
What Papa said was true
Forever's just another word for loving you

'Cause you are prettier than Portland
Lovelier than Los Angeles in June
More beautiful than Brooklyn
And sweeter than Seattle when it's blue
And sweeter than Seattle when it's blue
And sweeter than Seattle when it's blue
