Portland was hot in the wintertime In the rain, in the tears that pour down my face Oh, I wish you were here, I wish I still drank beer I'd have one for every year that I've fallen from grace Then I'll make you all laugh with a joke and a smile And sing you some songs 'bout the nights I went wild Though my heartache might hide behind a sweet melody Oh, I'm livin' in a minor key I'm living in a minor key ♪ I still got a little swagger in my step And I still think Hank Williams is as good as it gets And when I was younger, I had a hunger And I'd chase the thunder into the storm of regrets And I'll make you all laugh with a joke and a smile And sing you some songs 'bout the years I went wild Though my heartache might hide behind a sweet melody Oh, I'm livin' in a minor key I'm living in a minor key ♪ Though my heartache might hide behind a sweet melody Oh, I'm livin' in a minor key I'm living in a minor key
