|
You take a rickety plane up from Seattle into Anchorage |
|
You step on the concrete gazing at the midnight sun |
|
Jump in my pickup and we'll drive |
|
Bring your troubles down Highway 9 |
|
I got a pull-out couch and a job lined up at the cannery |
|
You hitch a ride to Homer, Alaska - brother, the drinks will be on me |
|
[chorus] |
|
Raise a glass, tip the chalice, welcome to Alice's Champagne Palace |
|
The finest bar in the strip in Homer, Alaska |
|
If you're from New York, LA, Dallas |
|
You'll find a home at the Champagne Palace |
|
Alice will pour you a cold one, go ahead and ask her |
|
If you're running away to Alaska |
|
Now the mountains rise from ocean to sky in Homer, Alaska |
|
And they'll steal your breath and your troubles in the blink of an eye |
|
You'll hear a band with a steel guitar |
|
There's a window seat right at the bar |
|
The whales are breeching and Alice is preaching "Like a Rolling Stone" |
|
She'll push a Mason jar across the bar and say "Mister, welcome home" |
|
[repeat chorus] |
|
[bridge] |
|
You've never been to a prettier place than Homer, Alaska |
|
You'll never find a kinder face than the one behind the bar |
|
Homer's a town full of misfit toys |
|
Renegade women, runaway boys |
|
Everybody's got a story here in Homer-town |
|
I guess sometimes you gotta go to the end of the earth just to turn yourself around |
|
Raise a glass, tip the chalice, welcome to Alice's Champagne Palace |
|
The finest bar in the strip in Homer, Alaska |
|
If you're from New York, LA, Dallas |
|
You'll find a home at the Champagne Palace |
|
Alice will pour you a cold one, go ahead and ask her |
|
If you're running away.....brother you just might stay..... |
|
If you're running away to Alaska.....Alaska....right on the strip in Homer....Alaska |
