And how far are you from shore?
And when your ship

Oh, would you call?

In that cabin in Montana
Was that donkey gettin' drunk?
Well it's been hell back here in Philadelphia, yeah
And York ain't what it was

Now you know grandpa's washing dishes
He does it when he can
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand
The dog is barking out back
He thinks he's in the band
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand

[Post-Chorus]
And I dreamt where
We're at the station
And you asked me if you could go
You know I never really had the chance
To say no
[Verse 2]
Well it's night time in Alaska

Now you know grandpa's washing dishes
He does it when he can
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand
The dog is barking out back
He thinks he's in the band
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand

[Post-Chorus]
Well I dream where
We're at the station
And you asked me if you could go
You know I never really had the chance
Oh, no
To say
