Anchorage Lyrics - Michelle Shocked

I took the time to write to my old friend 

I walked across that burning bridge 

I mailed my letter off to Dallas but 

Her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska 

She said, "Hey girl it's about time you wrote 

It's been over two years now my old friend 

Take me back to the days of the foreign telegrams" 

And the all night rock n' rollin', hey Chel we was wild then 

Hey Chel you know it's kinda funny 

Texa's always seems so big 

But you know you're in the largest State in the Union 

When you're anchored down in Anchorage 

Hey girl I think the last time I saw you 

Was on me and Leroys wedding day 

What was the name of that love song you played 

I forgot how it goes, I don't recall how it goes 

Leroy got a better job so we moved 

Kevin lost a tooth, he's starting school 

I got a brand new eight month old baby girl 

I sound like a housewife, I think I'm a housewife 

Hey girl what's it like to be in New York 

New York City imagine that 

What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker 

Leroy says, "Send a picture" Leroy says, "Hello" 

Leroy says, "Keep on rocking girl, yeah keep on rocking"
