The twelve hour drive went by,
In the blink of an eye,
Cause I was too scared that you’d see I wasn’t worth the trip
Then we sat like cowboys,
On the beach, in Santa Monica and
That night we slept in separate beds
And in the morning, out on the I-5
The sun rose and it hurt my eyes
While you slept in your seat,
I sang you songs that you won’t remember except in dreams
Of California
In Frisco’ I didn’t miss her,
Half as much as I thought I would
And when we crossed the bridge I didn’t dream about jumping
While we walked you told me
All about your mother and,
How you hated her just as you loved her
Your friends that we stayed with
Told me stories about when you were kids
And they said, that they’d never seen a man
Make you smile the way that I did that night
While you avoided my eyes
We left our clothes on a park bench
In downtown Portland, Oregon
While we swam naked in that wide rolling river
That night you crept close to me
on the living room floor
And you said please don’t ever let me go
Well I know that love is
just a sinking ship
And I know that I won’t be able
to swim away from it I hold onto you
the whole night through
We made Seattle
in the cold and grey
that’s where you kissed me in the drizzling rain
I told you all about
My old home town
And all my old friends told me to keep you around
Now the weeks up, and my ass is sore
And I ran out of money for gas
And I’m thinking, maybe you’ll stay a while,
right here by my side on Puget Sound
