Sunday and it¡¯s rainin¡¯ in alaska
seven days, i haven¡¯t seen the sun
flyin¡¯ bush, flyin¡¯ low along the shore lune
doin¡¯ everything i can to make it home
I can¡¯t wait to see the wrangle mountain
i can¡¯t wait to do what i will do
honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
when i can¡¯t 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 don¡¯t know a better way to feel
I can¡¯t wait to see the wrangle mountain
i can¡¯t wait to do what i will do
honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
when i can¡¯t wait to get back home to you
It¡¯s a quiet life out here among the mountains
in a cabin that was built with these two hands
mccarthey lies asleep beside the glacier
it¡¯s colder now, winter¡¯s in the air
if you think they¡¯re wild it¡¯s just because they can¡¯t be broken
it¡¯s a strong and gentle people living there
I can¡¯t wait to see the wrangle mountain
i can¡¯t wait to do what i will do
honey, did i never say how time goes by so slowly
when i can¡¯t wait to get back home to you
