Lyrics
? Vegas To Alaska ?
written by Ray Lani (BMI)
Here?s a story I will share with you
and I swear every word to be true
?bout a couple named Shirley and Bud
who in a trailer and a pick-up truck
drove from
Vegas to Alaska
Vegas to Alaska
now this may not seem all that strange
to move and make such a great change
but Bud he was seventy-five
and Shirley she was sixty-nine
when they drove from
Vegas to Alaska
Vegas to Alaska
(CHORUS)
Vegas to Alaska
along the highway
traveling up route 93
they traveled thirty-five hundred
miles to live there
just to get their medicine free
Now talking on their CBs one night
all of a sudden Shirley wasn?t in sight
Bud saw a tire rolling by on his right
you see the lug-nuts they must not have been tight
on their way from
Vegas to Alaska
Vegas to Alaska
But Bud he was a real handy guy
so when he didn?t see a passerby
he just did what he had to do
he fixed the tire and his legend it grew
on his way from
Vegas to Alaska
Vegas to Alaska
(CHORUS)
repeat
(CHORUS) and (tag)
just to get their medicine free
