Lyr Req: Oregon Song from 1980s

A singer/songwriter who lived in Oregon performed a song he wrote in the early 1980s which I'm trying to locate. I don't remember his name or the name of the song, but I think he may have moved to Texas. The chorus went:

I believe in tomorrow,
for I've seen yesterday,
and I learned about forever
from a friend who passed away.
I believe in believing
'cause I learned that from my son
and when I die I know I'll go to heaven but till then
I'm as close as I can be in Oregon.

Does anyone have any information about the song and/or songwriter?
Thanks.

I am thinking it is Jinx Davis, but unfortunately he died a few years back. He wrote great songs. mg

I know it wasn't Jinx, though he wrote a lot of good Oregon songs.
