In an interview with American Songwriter, Lynn said she had no idea White was going to be singing on...
[Verse 1-Loretta Lynn]
Well, Portland, Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love, then tell me what is, uh-huh uh-huh
Well I lost my heart, it didn't take no time
But that ain't all, I lost my mind in Oregon
[Verse 2-Jack White & Loretta Lynn]
In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was moving in fast she was taking it slow, uh-huh uh-huh
Well, I looked at him and caught him looking at me
I knew right then, we were playing free in Oregon
[Verse 3-Jack White & Loretta Lynn]
Next day, we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us, uh-huh uh-huh
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon
[Verse 4-Loretta Lynn & Jack White]
Well, sloe gin fizz works mighty fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass, uh-huh uh-huh
Hey bartender, before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go
[Outro-Loretta Lynn & Jack White]
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go
