Alice's Champagne Palace |
You take a rickety plane |
From Seattle up 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 nine |
I got a pullout couch |
And a job lined up at the cannery |
Catch a ride to Homer, Alaska, |
Brother, the drinks will be on me |
(chorus) |
We’ll raise a glass |
Lift a chalice |
Welcome to Alice’s Champagne Palace |
The finest bar on 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 |
You 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» |
(chorus) |
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 |
(chorus) |
