Pacific Northwestern Blues - Justin Townes Earle

I’ve been up all night driving in the pouring rain

I’ve got three hundred miles 'til we get back to my babe

She shredded last love letter

Talking Pacific northwestern blues

I been down in Arizona and, baby, I’m a-coming home

I been down in the desert and, baby, I’m a-dry to the bone

Talking Pacific northwestern blues

Still ain’t made the mountains, temperature’s starting to drop

Might get a little messy, but I’ll make it with a little luck

Always fighting the weather

Pacific northwestern blues

Well after the rain, after the rain comes fog

Driving twenty miles an hour, practically at a crawl

Call my baby up and tell her

Talking Pacific northwestern blues

Now passing through Pendleton, then come the snow

It’s only a fool would be out on this road

Here I go getting clever

Pacific northwestern blues

I see the city lights up ahead in the stormy night

But we’re moving so slow I’m about to lose my mind

Things can only get better

Talking Pacific northwestern blues

And now just off the highway, rain’s coming down

Get to my road and the whole damn thing’s washed out

Now more than ever

Talking Pacific northwestern blues

Now more than ever

Talking Pacific northwestern blues
