Alaska And Me
John Denver

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 live 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

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
