lyrics

Dark New England morning, windswept rocky shore
I've lived all my life here, but I wanted something more
There's a girl in the other Portland so I packed up my Ford
To Drive Across America
I would take I-90, pass through Buffalo
Drive this road 3,000 miles till I reach Tokio
And when I hit 395 there's 100 miles to go
Till I reach the Columbia

It's springtime west of Cleveland, and as far as I can see
A pink and white kaleidoscope of a million blooming trees
I feel the cold wind reach my face off mighty Lake Erie
As I'm passing through Elyria
Fifteen hours later, I've finally reached the plains
The great Coteau des Prairies topped with amber waves of grain
There are storm clouds in the distance bringing badly needed rain
Just north of Spencer, Iowa

I see the mountains rising as the sun is getting low
But I can't stop to rest now, there are many miles to go
Majestic hues of twilight guide me down the winding road
As I'm driving west through Montana
Now it's 3am in Idaho and I'm the only car
Above my head a meteor is streaking 'cross the stars
A sign says "Spokane: 30 miles" so I can't be that far
From getting to Portlandia

Bright Pacific morning where the Cascades touch the sky
I'm driving into Portland as the Willamette rolls on by
Now it's time for me to find my girl, the only reason why
I drove across America
But now that I'm in Portland she's nowhere to be found
I search the city high and low and she is not around
Until I see on Facebook that she took the last Greyhound
That was headed to Astoria, Queens
