lyrics

I ran aground in the rainy northwest
But northwest ain't north enough for me
So I packed my bags and made a sideways egress
'Cause no one can tell me where to be

I'm movin' to Alaska
Where from the past I'm freed
Movin' to Alaska
Where no one knows me
There's nothing left to ask ya
I said all there is to say
Movin' to Alaska
Where things will go my way

I wanna perch in a birds eye nest
Where all I see are hills of green
When summer's sun turns to winter's test
I'll stick it out by fire's gleam

I'm movin' to Alaska
Where hills are verdant green
Movin' to Alaska
Where no one knows me
There's nothing left to ask ya
We've said all there is to say
Movin' to Alaska
Where things will go my way

If she asks for whereabouts
Say I can't be reached
Don't be swayed by screaming shouts
Stand your ground for me
She'll move on before too long
And I will be redeemed
But whatever you say, just please don't tell her

I'm movin' to Alaska
Where from the past I'm freed
Movin' to Alaska
Where you can't find me
There's nothing left to ask ya
We've said all there is to say
Movin' to Alaska
Where things will go my way
