Portland (Grass Version)

It's not that I hate leaving Portland

I hate losing you

Not that I hate leaving the city

I'll be without you

I'm trying not to hit that bottle

And the other things I do

It's not that I hate leaving Portland

I hate losing you

I ain't trying to be somebody

I ain't never was

Fame and the fortune

They're all just made up

If by chance you come to see me

My head's hung low

No, I didn't want to leave

I had to let go

Yeah, I hate leaving Portland

But it's really about you

'Cause when I'm not around you

I'm missing a thing or two

I'll hit rock bottom

Try to get back up

Nah, it ain't about leaving Portland

It's about giving up

When I hit rock bottom

Know that's why I'm there

Those waves keep crashing

Pushing my heart back there

I'll try not to feel you

Slipping away

My soul ain't the same

When I'm not with you every day

'Cause my soul ain't the same

When I'm not with you every day
