Portland, Oregon Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Surfpico 

Cover art for Portland, Oregon lyrics by Loretta Lynn

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.
