I've been up all night driving in the pouring rain
I got [three hundred miles to get back to my babe?] [?] 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 dry to the bone
[What I can gather?] 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 I just [?] rain's coming down
Get to my road and we'll hope that thing's washed out
[Now more than ever?] Talking Pacific northwestern blues
[Now more than ever?] Talking Pacific northwestern blues
