Sunday and itĄŻs raininĄŻ in alaska
seven days, i havenĄŻt seen the sun
flyinĄŻ bush, flyinĄŻ low along the shore lune
doinĄŻ everything i can to make it home
I canĄŻt wait to see the wrangle mountain
i canĄŻt wait to do what i will do
honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
when i canĄŻt wait to get back home to you
Three years from the war and settled down now
i did my time and served my country well
in the freedom i defended i fly beneath the north star
and i just donĄŻt know a better way to feel
I canĄŻt wait to see the wrangle mountain
i canĄŻt wait to do what i will do
honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
when i canĄŻt wait to get back home to you
ItĄŻs a quiet life out here among the mountains
in a cabin that was built with these two hands
mccarthey lies asleep beside the glacier
itĄŻs colder now, winterĄŻs in the air
if you think theyĄŻre wild itĄŻs just because they canĄŻt be broken
itĄŻs a strong and gentle people living there
I canĄŻt wait to see the wrangle mountain
i canĄŻt wait to do what i will do
honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
when i canĄŻt wait to get back home to you
