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 that Id 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

R: Heres to Alaska, heres to the people
   Heres to the wild and heres to the free
   Heres 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 pilots wife

We sleep near the  sound of a  slow running river
Wake up most  mornings to a  drizzling  rain
We  live every day like the  first or the last one
With nothing to  lose and  heaven to  gain

R: Heres to Alaska...

Oh, for a  fire on a  cold winters  night
Once more to  gaze at the  great Northern lights
For  all of the beauty my  children will  see
Heres to  Alaska and  me

R: Heres to Alaska...

   Oh,  heres to  Alaska and me
