Alaskan Tourist

Did you ever have a truly bad vacation? One that was so bad that you were not only glad to return home but you wish you had never left?

In the song Wayfarin’ Stranger, the singer struggles with life’s trials and tribulations, but also has hope for seeing loved ones in the afterlife.

Sometimes on a bad vacation one can feel like the Wayfarin’ Stranger. There may be hope for arriving safely in the comfort of one’s home, but there is no hope for vacation happiness to be salvaged.

This was the case with Bigfoot when he went on vacation in Alaska. Not only was he having a terrible time, he also had severe doubts that he would return home safely. In his darkest moments he consoled himself by singing the following song:

Alaskan Tourist
(Sing to Wayfarin’ Stranger)

I’m just a lost Alaskan tourist
A trudgin’ through this world of snow.
And I can’t see because I’m snow blind
In this bright world through which I go.
Just let me know if you see Fairbanks,
If I get there, I’m goin’ home.
You’ll never see me visit Juneau.
You’ll never see my face in Nome.
