Portland, Oregon Lyrics
Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon
In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon
Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon
Well sloe gin fizz works might fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go [repeat]
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go

When I first heard this song I was like, "Huh? Jack White?" But after hearing it I gained a new found respect for him. Loretta is amazing.
Apparently she wrote the song about getting back at her womanizing man with her guitar player to make him jealous. Apparently it worked. He showed up with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a pistol in the other.
Well, I'm pretty certain that I got that story right. If I'm wrong, feel free to let me know.

Jack White has the male side on this awesome track.
I looooove this song!!! But I must admit, I don't get it. Are Loretta and Jack just bar whores?
This is such a great song. Such a contribution to great music by two fabulous artists from different sides of the tracks.
I take this song to be exactly what LibertyNALE says, I think that they have picked each other up in a bar and had an eventful night to remember, and when it was over, they decided to do it again the next night. GREAT TUNE!!
Yeah, can anyone say robbing the cradle.
:)
This song, to me, is about a one-night stand after a night of drinking. Which is awesome. :D
The video for this song is awesome.... you could really feel the bond between Miss Loretta & Jack. They work so fell together. One of the best videos I've seen.
I just want to know what bar around Portland serves a pitcher of Sloe Gin Fizz....
