Alaska’s Run
Verse 1
So long ago
So long ago
Played in a band
Rock and roll show
My strings would rip
In a wondrous blow
Days ran into days
And the sun didn’t show
Focused on the charts
Our songs to play
Vampires at night
Sleep all day
Chorus
I’m and old man now
Whiskey still runs
Dreams meant so much
We were out of touch
But what do you do
When you are only 32
Verse 2
Drinking whiskeys
Sinking beers
Waiting for girls
Groupies to appear
Ambition high
No patience
Ignoring the fear
To never be famous
Chorus
I’m and old man now
The whiskey still runs
Dreams meant so much
We were out of touch
But what do you do
When you are only 32
Verse 3
All grew grey
Hopes were low
Living a dream
That was never so
Market told us
Was time to go
The jaded faces
Sick of our show
Chorus
I’m and old man now
The whiskey still runs
Dreams meant so much
We were out of touch
But what do you do
When you are only 32
Verse 4
Swapped the band
For a cabin and gun
Living alone
On Alaska’s Run
Chilled to the bone
My guitar strums
Sound of its timber
Till my days are done
fire that roars
I’ll never let go
Watch my fingers flow
On Alaska’s Run
All alone
Chorus
I’m and old man now
The whiskey still runs
Dreams meant so much
We were out of touch
But what do you do
When you are only 32
