Across the tracks
And one wrong turn
Is the boulevard of lessons learned
16 years old
In a Mountain Town
With nothing to do
But drive around

We'd blast our tunes on a Saturday night
Then we'd hit the mountains
And start a fire
Wasn't no slow dancing in the headlights
But we all sang along to country boy can survive

There's a western meadowlark
On a ponderosa pine
Out where life
Takes it's time
If you want to get somewhere
You best damn climb
Cause it's always up hill
To the horizon lines
Pardon me if I pander a bit
But a mountain life
Is the only life to live

We'd drive a thousand miles down an old mountain road
That's where our best lies are told
Sometimes you gotta go nowhere
To get where you need to be
Back when freedom was no destination
And a tank of gasoline

There's a western meadowlark
On a ponderosa pine
Out where life
Takes it's time
If you want to get somewhere
You best damn climb
Cause it's always up hill
To the horizon lines
Pardon me if I pander a bit
But a mountain life
Is the only life to live

There's a western meadowlark
On a ponderosa pine
Out where life
Takes it's time

I fell in love by the evergreen trees
Swaying in the chill of the west coast breeze
Skipping rocks by the moonlit stream
The sweetest thing I'd ever seen
I was inspired by the waterfalls
Out where the western meadowlark calls
Songbirds playing through the mist
Harmonizing as it we first kissed

My fears are blown away by a wind so strong
Raindrops on the sidewalk sound like a song
If you're walking through a storm, I'll come along
I found a love that won't ever feel wrong
Met you and I started to pray
Even when the rain poured from the sky
Heard God speak and He did say
You and I could bring sunshine

Even if it rains in Portland forever
We'll still dance in this gray weather
Talk about God's great Love Letter
As we grow old and gray together

I was enamored by the mountain peaks
Falling with every word you speak
I thank God every day For the love He sent my way

When the clouds are clear and the rain is done
Darlin, when you're near, you bring the Portland sun
Darlin, when you're near, you bring the Portland sun
My fears are blown away by a wind so strong Raindrops on the sidewalk sound like a song
If you're walking through a storm, I'll come along I found a love that won't ever feel wrong

Met you when I started to pray
Even when the rain poured from the sky
Heard God speak and He did say You and I could bring sunshine

Met you when I started to pray

Heard God speak and He did say
You and I could bring sunshine
Even if it rains in Portland forever
We'll still dance in this gray weather
Talk about God's great Love Letter
As we grow old and gray together

When the clouds all clear and the rain is done
Darlin, when you're near, you bring the Portland sun

When the blazing sun hangs low in the western sky
When the wind dies away on the mountain
When the song of the meadowlark turns still,
When the field locust clicks no more in the field
And the sea foam sleeps like a maiden at rest
And twilight touches the shape of the wandering earth
I turn home
