about

An ode to the only state to which I've never been.

lyrics

v1:
Alaska, why you teasing me?
I'd sure love to go
I'd have been there already,
But there's so much snow
And so much sunlight
This time of year
You're at the top of my list
So I won't shed a tear

ch:
For the other 49
Do I need to be reminded
Of this beautiful world I was born into
4,245 miles
Mayberry to Anchorage
The only one missing is you

v2:
I know you've got airports
But I think I might drive
Through the midwest, through Canada
That's how I'll arrive
It gets a little colder as I drive north
and I wonder if you celebrate July 4th

ch:
Like the other 49
I don't need to be reminded
Of this beautiful world I was born into
4,245 miles
Mayberry to Anchorage
The only one missing is you

br:
Even though you're about the size of Winston
You've got 10 times the number of moose, and then some

v3:
Alaska, why you teasing me?
Thought you were my friend
It's a big sky country
But I've already been

ch:
To the other 49
I don't need to be reminded
Of this beautiful world I was born into
4,245 miles
Mayberry to Anchorage
The only one missing is you
