Port of Tacoma

lyrics

I left my broken heart at the Port of Tacoma
Because that is where my darling lover left me.
So now I’m on the road, I’m on the I-90
Going 70 miles an hour, running home.

I got the A.C. a blowin’
Got some sweet tunes in my ear.
The river’s running westward
But I’m headed east my dear.
Crossing stateline borders
And leavin’ the sea behind
I’m running home, I’m running home, I’m running home.


Home, is where I belong for now until this pain disappears
Cause I know, I know if I’d stayed in Tacoma my heart would have shed too many tears


Its been 10 hours on this long and dusty road
My eyes are getting heavy when suddenly I see
The shining shores of Flathead Lake are smiling back at me
I’m running home, I’m running home, I’m running home

And though I am reluctant
To leave my love behind,
This stunning Big Sky country
Is here to ease my mind
I’m afraid of feeling lonely
For my heart cannot be tamed
No darling I don’t need you, but I want you just the same.


But I’m home, its where I belong for now until this pain disappears
Cause I know, I know, I know if I’d stayed in Tacoma my heart would have shed too many tears

No, I don’t need no anchor
As long as I got friends
Can keep driving round these bends.
If ever you should ask me to come on back to you,
I’ll loyally return and we can start this love anew
I’ll loyally return and we can start this love anew
I’ll loyally return and we can start this love anew


Till then I’m home in the Rockies where I am surrounded by my lakes and my streams
Home where the pines and the tamaracks sway ever gently in the sweet Montana breeze,
They sway ever gently in the sweet Montana breeze,
Where they sway ever gently in the sweet Montana breeze…
