Verse

Sunday and it's rainin' in Alaska
Seven days I haven't seen the sun
Flyin' bush, flyin' low along the shoreline   
Doin' ev'rything I can to make it home

Chorus

I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains
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

Verse

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

Chorus

I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains
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

Bridge

It's a quiet life out here among the mountains
In a cabin that was built with these two hands

Verse

McCarthy 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 livin' there

Chorus

I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains
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
