Lyric Alaska And Me

When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Somehow I knew I d live there one day
Well it took me some growin , and a fair bit of schoolin
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
When I came to Alaska the land that I love

Here s to Alaska, here s to the people
Here s to the wild and here s to the free
Here s to my life in a chosen country
Here s to Alaska and me

I was born in a cabin on Little Mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin
I knew that I d wind up a bush pilot s wife

We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
And wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
And we face every day like the first or the last one
With nothin to lose and heaven to gain

Here s to Alaska, here s to the people
Here s to the wild and here s to the free
Here s to my life in a chosen country
Here s to Alaska and me

Oh, for the fire on a cold winters night
And once more to gaze at the great northern lights
For all of the beauty my children will see
Here s to Alaska and me
Here s to Alaska, here s to the people
Here s to the wild and here s to the free
Here s to my life in a chosen country
Here s to Alaska and me
