I always had to tell her to relax
and the cat can slip in doors
through a multitude of cracks
and its funny what theyll do
cause cracks lead outside too
when I asked her where shes goin
she said far away from you

stuck here on my own now
diggin down deep
i dont understand it
but im not losin sleep
im gonna lay down
or head north out of town
i dont know
but i think ill go
and try dog mushin with an eskimo

in alaska
alaska
i guess ill try alaska
somewhere she might wait for me
i'll catch up just wait and see
idaho nebraska
i dont know i'll ask here
guess ill try
think ill try alaska

sold my old piano for the rent
i loaded up on bugspray and i found my daddys tent
now im in high gear
doin 45
hummin a tune
i wont see the moon
til sometime in july

i guess i couldve flown or took a train
but you wont see a moose
if youre sittin on a train
and now theres no more road
but i got a light load
and if she isnt in alaska
ill stay and pan for gold

alaska
alaska
i guess ill try alaska
somewhere she might wait for me
ill catch up just wait and see
idaho nebraska
i dont know alaska
i guess ill try
i think ill try alaska

just when i thought id end up alone
big ol-laskan mama come walkin down the road
(jam)

alaska alaska
ill 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 dont know ill ask her
ill stay right here
stay right here
ill stay right here
stay right here
(take it cactus)
