Alaska - Alex Lahey, The Cactus Channel, Animaux

if i could go anywhere

i’d leave here for alaska

where the sun and soft white snow

would make a home for my footprints

i’d meet someone and fall in love

like it was a tv drama

and find out they don’t feel the same

and i’d be on my way

if i could go anywhere

i’d go to alabama

with narrow minds in deep south time

there’s no chance that i’d fit in

i’d meet someone and make a friend

like in a college novel

and find out they don’t feel the same

and i’d be on my way

i won’t go back home

i won’t know my way

town to town i go

a new one every day

i’m looking for alaska

won’t you help me find alaska

i’m trying to find alaska

help me find alaska

if i could go anywhere

i’d try to find nebraska

there i’d buy an old typewriter

to write down all my thoughts

i’d meet a stranger on the street

and show him all my writings

and find out they don’t feel the same

and i’d be on my way

yeah, i won’t go back home

i won’t know my way

town to town i go

a new one every day

i’m looking for alaska

won’t you help me find alaska

i’m trying to find alaska

help me find alaska

i’m looking for alaska

won’t you help me find alaska

i’m trying to find alaska

help me find alaska

i won’t go back home
