Alaska

I always had
To tell her to relax
And a cat can slip in doors
Through multitudes of cracks

And it's funny what they'll do
'Cause cracks lead outside too
When I asked her where she's goin'
She said, "Far away from you"

Stuck here on my own now
Diggin' down deep
I don't understand it
But I ain't losin' sleep

I'm not gonna lay down
Or head north out of town
I don't know but I think I'll go
And try dog mushin' with an Eskimo

In Alaska, Alaska
I think I'll try Alaska
Somewhere she could wait for me
I'll catch up, just wait and see

Idaho, Nebraska
I don't know, I'll ask her
I think I'll try
I think I'll try Alaska

I sold my old piano
For the rent
I loaded up on bug spray
And I found my daddy's tent

Now I'm in high gear doin' 45
Hummin' a tune
I won't see the moon
'Til sometime in July

I guess I could've flown
Or took a train
But you won't see a moose
With just sittin' on a plane

And now there's no more road
But I got a light load
And if she isn't in Alaska
I'll stay and pan for gold

Alaska, Alaska
I think I'll try Alaska
Somewhere she could wait for me
I'll catch up, just wait and see

Idaho, Nebraska
I don't know Alaska
I think I'll try
I think I'll try Alaska

Just when I thought
I'd end up alone
Big ol' 'Laskan mama
Come walkin' down the road

Alaska, Alaska
I'll stay right here in Alaska
All settled down and havin' fun
Here in the land of the midnight sun

Is it time to call the pastor?
I don't know, I'll ask her
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here

I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
I'll stay right here, I'll stay right here
