Oregon

Shawn McDonald

I was raised in Oregon by the mountains and the streams
Raised by the rugged, the wild and the free
And I'm a dreamer
Of better days to come

Now I'd be lyin' if said it wasn't a fight
Spent many evenings cryin' through the night
And we're all searchin'
How to get a life right

Oh, you'll never know where life could go
If you don't let down your fear
Oh, you'll never find what you're searchin' for
Until you learn how
How to set it free

My parents left me when I was really young
They left me to deal with the settin' of the Sun
But I held my head high
I said my goodbyes and moved on

My grandparents picked up the pieces where they fell
They taught me that everyone got a story to tell
And we're all searchin'
For somewhere to belong

Oh, you'll never know where life could go
If you don't let down your fear
Oh, you'll never find what you're searchin' for
Until you learn how
How to set it free

Well, I once heard a wise man say
That if you want love, you gotta give it away
'Cause at the heart of life, well, it comes with sacrifice
And those of you who lose it find life
Gotta set it free

I was raised in Oregon by the mountains and the streams
Raised by the rugged, the wild and the free
And I'm a dreamer
Of better days to come
