A re-rworking of Home on the Range with additional lyrics

lyrics

My Pacific Northwestern Home

O give me a home, where the bicycles roam
where thereʼs beer and the guitars do play where seldom is heard,
a republicanʼs word and the skies are all cloudy all day

CHORUS
Home, home on the range
where thereʼs beer and the guitars do play
where seldom is heard, a republicanʼs word
and the skies are all cloudy all day

O give me a room and the quiet solitude
to lock out all my troubles and cares
where black beans and rice, and red curry spice
make up a Broken Solderʼs 3-Squares

O give me a park and the sweet meadowlark
to watch girls on a fair summerʼs day
when I say “how-do?”, they just frown “who are you?”
I reply as they waddle away

O give me a tavern thatʼs as dank as a cavern
with a juke box that plays “Fire and Rain”
alone at the bar, you can be who you are
as drunk as a Lord on champagne

At the end of the night, too drunk to ride bike
to get home you can hop on the train
if you make a friend then invite them on in
and sing them this happy refrain
