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
