I took time out to write to my old friend
G D9 C D
I walked across that burning bridge
G D9 C D G C
I mailed my letter off to Dallas but her reply came from
D G
Anch orage , Alaska
G D9 C D
She said, Hey girl, it's about time you wrote
G D9 C D
It's been over two years , my old friend
G D9 C D
Take me back to the days of the foreign telegrams
G D9 C D
And the all night rock and rolling
G D9 CD
Hey `Chel, we was wild then
Hey `Chel, you know it's kinda funny
Texas always seems 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 you played?
I forgot how it goes
I don't recall how it goes
C D Am C D Am C D Am G D9 C D
Anchorage
Anchored down in Anchorage
Leroy got a better job so we moved
Kevin lost a tooth, he's started school
I've got a brand new eight month old baby girl
I sound like a housewife
Hey `Chel, I think I'm a housewife
Hey girl, what's it like to be in New York?
New York City, imagine that
What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker?
Leroy says send a picture
Leroy says hello
Leroy says keep on rocking, girl
Keep on rocking
