lyrics

I’m goin’ down to Oregon
To draw a line in the sand
I’m gonna pawn everything I own
And leave Ketchikan
In the fading light of empire
It’s every man for himself
I’m going down to Oregon
To become someone else

I been first and I been last,
I been found and left behind
That don’t mean as much to me
As the dream in my mind
I looked across the river,
Seen my soul on the other side
I’m going down to Oregon
While I still got the time

I got a box of photographs
From the time before
Permanent confusion
Arrived at my door
My woman smiles back at me
She was here now she’s gone
I hear she left some time ago
For the coast of Oregon

I been down in the valley
Where the silver river runs
Just beyond the plateau
Way behind the sun
If you been baptized by fire,
By circumstance and fate
You best go down to Oregon
Before it’s too late
