Sunday and it's rainin' in Alaska

Seven days, I haven't seen the sun

Flyin' bush, flyin' low along the shore line

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
