At Saturday Market it was love at first sight

When I first caught your eye.

I was eating an elephant ear,

You were sipping some chai.

 

Then we got to talkin',

Laughin', havin' some fun,

I guess I knew right then

That you were the one.

 

We walked for hours and hours,

Till it was time to go,

You gave me your phone number,

And my heart was aglow.

 

I walked you to the station:

To catch the Eastbound MAX line,

You kissed me on the cheek,

And sent chills up my spine.

 

I asked you what your stop was,

I thought you'd probably say "Heaven."

But you smiled and simply replied,

"One hundred ninety seventh."

 

Chorus: Well, urban growth boundaries can't stop my love,

There's nothin' that I wouldn't do.

Baby let me show you how true my love is:

I'd go out to Gresham for you.

 

I called you up the very next day,

And then we shared some e-mail.

I tried not to cringe when you wrote:

"Let's meet today in Troutdale."

 

I got into my Hybrid,

I hopped on I-84.

I drove for miles and miles

Until I got to your door.

 

And oh!  How I love you,

My Eastside girl.

And oh!  I never thought

I'd find love in that part of the world.

 

Chorus
