Andrew Peterson - Alaska Or Bust Lyrics

Alaska Or Bust Lyrics[Verse 1]
Margie, won't you listen to an old man's wish?
Well, they say it's mighty pretty in Alaska
Well, my daddy used to talk about those deep-sea fish
So there's something, darling, that I wanna ask you
So don't you turn me down
Don't start now

[Verse 2]
Well in the morning we would listen to the cattle calling
Lowing in the lands of Okeechobee
Where it's flatter than the cardboard on the carport floor
And the cattails seem to wave just like they know me
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, but Enoch in the tackle shop
Goes on about the salmon caught
The time he and his brother sailed to Juneau

[Chorus]
So get in, I'll do the driving
Well, your bag's already packed and in the truck
Margie, get in, put down those dishes
Well, the town will see us go if we're in luck
So come on, it's Alaska or bust

[Verse 3]
Well, I've been holding down this farm that daddy left me, darling
The kids have married off and moved away
And the doctor says I'm healthy for an old man dying
I'm well enough to seize a few more days

[Chorus]
So get in, I'll do the driving
Well, your bag's already packed and in the truck
So Margie get in, these bones are dry
I've been running but the cancer's catching up
So come on, it's Alaska or bust

[Verse 4]
There were days when I imagined that the clouds were mountains
Towering above the rolling ocean
And I was sailing on my tractor, turning hay out in the pasture
Catching salmon of my own while I was mowing

So get in, I'll do the driving
Your bag's already packed and in the truck
Margie get in, there's not much time
I've been running, but the cancer's catching up
Well, the town will see us go if we're in luck
So come on, it's Alaska or bust
Yeah, it's Alaska or bust
So darling, don't you turn me down, no no no
Don't start now
