text: 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
