Alaska - Trey Anastasio

I Always had to tell her to relax

And a cat can slip indoors, through multitudes of cracks

But it’s funny what they’ll do

Cause cracks lead outside too

When I asked her where she’s going she said «far away from you»

Stuck here on my own now

Digging down deep

I don’t understand it

But I ain’t losing sleep

I’m not gonna lay down

I’ll head north out of town

I don’t know but I think I’ll go and try dog mushing 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, Alaska

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

I found my daddy’s tent

And now I’m in high gear

Doing forty-five

Humming a tune

I won’t see the moon 'til sometime in July

I guess I could have flown or took a train

But you won’t see a moose if you’re sitting on a plane

And now there’s no more road

But I got a light load

Anf If she isn’t in Alaska

I’ll stay and pan for gold

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, Alaska

I think I’ll try, I think I’ll try Alaska

Just when I though 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 having 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
