Ellis Paul - Alice's Champagne Palace Lyrics
You take a rickety planefrom Seattle up into AnchorageYou step on the concretegazing at the midnight sunJump in my pickupand we'll driveBring your troublesdown highway nineI got a pullout couchand a job lined up at the canneryCatch a ride to Homer, Alaska,brother, the drinks will be on me(chorus)We'll raise a glasslift a chaliceWelcome to Alice's Champagne PalaceThe finest bar on the strip in Homer, AlaskaIf you're from New York, LA, Dallas,you'll find a home at the Champagne PalaceAlice will pour you a cold oneYou go ahead and ask her,if you're running away to AlaskaNow the mountains rise from ocean to skyin Homer, AlaskaAnd they'll steal your breathand your troubles in the blink of an eyeYou'll hear a band with a steel guitarthere's a window seat right at the barThe whales are breechingAnd Alice is preaching"Like a Rolling Stone"She'll push a mason jaracross the bar and say,"Mister, welcome home"(chorus)You've never been toa prettier place than Homer, AlaskaYou'll never find a kinder facethan the one behind the barHomer's a town full of misfit toys,renegade women, runaway boysEverybody's got astory here in Homer TownI guess sometimes you gotta goto the end of the earthjust to turn yourself around(chorus)
