better company

the columbia to the puget sound

from the peak of hood right to the ground

not and inch was dry

and every month's the same

winter rains are coming to drown the coastal range

from manzanita on towards young's bay

the clouds are rolling in heavier each day

here it's hard to be better company

where the hope or the sign of summer clouds your mind

from october through july it's the way it is

stretching county wide and clear up i-5

all the towns are empty

everyone's inside

not an inch was dry

and every month's the same

winter rains are coming to drown the coastal range

here it's hard to be better company

where the hope or the sign of summer clouds your mind

it's known to the born and raised

up the gorge aways

there's a shadow

that hides the sane

in that shadow due east

it's sparer on the plain

where the hope or the sign of summer clouds your mind

you see here it's hard to be better company

from october through july it's the way it is
