Michelle Shocked - Anchorage (radio) lyrics

I took time out to write to my old friend I walked across that burning bridge 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 you know, my old friend Take me back to the days of the foreign telegrams And the all-night rock and rollin'... hey Shell We was wild then Hey Shell, you know it's kind of funny Texas always seemed 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 Leroy's wedding day What was the name of that love song they played? I forgot how it goes I don't recall how it goes Anchorage Anchored down in Anchorage Leroy got a better job so we moved Kevin lost a tooth now he's started school I got a brand new eight month old baby girl I sound like a housewife Hey Shell, I think I'm a housewife Hey Girl, what's it like to be in New York? New York City - imagine that! Tell me, what's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker? Leroy says "Send a picture" Leroy says "Hello" Leroy says "Oh, keep on rocking, girl" "yeah, keep on rocking" Hey Shell, you know it's kind of funny Texas always seemed so big But you know you're in the largest state in the union When you're anchored down in Anchorage Oh, Anchorage Anchored down in Anchorage Oh, Anchorage
