Cheryl Wheeler - Alice

^CAlice works the desk at the ^DmEast Bay Hotel In ^FGrand Marais, Minne^Gsota ^CI came in one night, she said, "I ^Dmloved your show" We ^Fsat and talked on the ^Gsofa ^C

She's on her ^Fown since her ^Ghusband passed away ^C Some surgeon ^Fscrewed up, there's ^Gnothing left to say Now she ^Cworks this desk at night and the ^Dmcampground by day In a ^Ftrailer by the lake, until the ^Gsummer blows away

She ^Cread about the job in a ^Dmcamping magazine And ^Fhome was just a re^Gminder So she ^Ctook the cat and dog, ^Dmstored away her things ^F Left the bleakness be^Ghind her ^C

Even ^Fnow through the ^Gache of missing him ^C She's filled with ^Fwonder and ^Gfar from giving in She sees ^Cmagic on the lake in the ^Dmearly morning light And ^Ftalking books and telling tales, we ^Gsat there half the night

And she said, "The ^Cmore I travel, the ^Fmore I wanna see ^GMy kids want some ^Csettled life for me I don't wanna ^Amove somewhere and grow ^Dmold quiet^Dsus2ly And the more I ^Gtravel, the ^Fmore I wanna ^Csee"

Well, it's ^Ctime to make a change, with ^Dmwinter in the wings And the ^FEast Bay Hotel made an ^Goffer But she ^Cdoesn't really know, 'cause there's ^Dmeverywhere to go And there's ^Feverything that travelling has ^Gtaught her ^C

Moving ^Fmarches down ^Gbusy city streets ^C Fantastic people she's ^Fprivileged to ^Gmeet And she ^Cdreams about Alaska, the ^Dmsnow so deep and white And that ^Flittle town in Texas, where there's ^Gdancing every night

She says, "The ^Cmore I travel, the ^Fmore I wanna see ^GMy kids want some ^Csettled life for me I don't wanna ^Amove somewhere and grow ^Dmold quiet^Dsus2ly And the more I ^Gtravel" ^{F C}

"The more I travel, the ^Fmore I wanna see ^GMy kids want some ^Csettled life for me I don't wanna ^Amove somewhere and grow ^Dmold quiet^Dsus2ly And the more I ^Gtravel, the ^Fmore I wanna ^Csee" The ^Gmore I wanna ^Csee"
