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
