This Hidden Oregon Mountain Trail Will Take Your Breath Away!

 About the Song:

"This Hidden Oregon Mountain Trail Will Take Your Breath Away" is a country ballad that celebrates Oregon’s rugged landscapes, outlaw stories, and mountain traditions. From Mount Hood to the coastal breeze, from Portland’s free spirit to the Oregon Trail's legacy, this song is a tribute to the state's wild heart and enduring pride.

Lyrics:

Out in the sticks where the tall pines grow,
By the creek where the cold winds blow.
The timber towns and ranchin' roots,
Life's hard, but we wear our boots.

Mount Hood stands like a watchful king,
While the Columbia River just keeps on singin'.
From Crater Lake to the coastal breeze,
Oregon whispers through the trees.

Ain't no mountain high enough to hold me down,
In the land of green where freedom's found.
Keep Portland Weird, let the spirit ride,
Oregon's outlaw soul will never hide.

The beaver works and the meadowlark calls,
Through evergreen forests and waterfall halls.
Outlaw hearts beat wild and free,
Under skies as blue as the deep, dark sea.

From the Painted Hills to the Willamette vines,
We make our way on rugged lines.
The ghost of the Oregon Trail still walks,
In every step of these dusty docks.

Ain't no mountain high enough to hold me down,
In the land of green where freedom's found.
Keep Portland Weird, let the spirit ride,
Oregon's outlaw soul will never hide.

Steel guitars and banjo strings,
Harmonica cries while the fiddle sings.
Round the campfire, we tell our tales,
Of rugged lives and winds that wail.

The Native legends weave the night,
With stars that burn so wild and bright.
From timber to trailblazers bold,
Oregon's story is pure outlaw gold.

Ain't no mountain high enough to hold me down,
In the land of green where freedom's found.
Keep Portland Weird, let the spirit ride,
Oregon's outlaw soul will never hide.

Out in the sticks, where the heart runs deep,
Oregon's spirit will always keep.
Through every river, mountain, and tree,
This outlaw state will set you free.

Hillbilly Music: From Appalachian Roots to Global Legacy
