There's a bit of a bump as the plane touches down
It's pleasant comfy weather
Welcome to beautiful Stumptown
But will I return here ever
I've been living in the desert
Incessant sunshine and heat
I've been looking for my pleasure
A nice rainy day's hard to beat
[chorus]
I wanna move here
And once again call this city my home
I wanna live here
And make it here somehow now that I'm grown
I remember when the big sign read White Stag
And Clackamas had a rink for skating
My, but when you're away doesn't'ch'r memory lag
But keep my home weird, that's what I'm saying
And the digits that make up the old area code
Are the month and the day I was born (503!)
And beautiful cultures called the Northwest their abode
Their dialects now lost and forlorn
[chorus]
[musical break]
I'll go to work in the element I belong
The Bohemian section of town (isn't that the whole city?)
Rent space with a view of the Fremont so long
And paint my landscapes made of sound
[chorus]
Hold a great big yard sale
Sell all my crap for cash
Pack what's left in the car and high tail
Just me and the road and my cats
[chorus]
Na na na na....
Yeah yeah yeah yeah....
Huh huh huh huh....
