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

Heres to Alaska, heres to the people

Heres to the [Am/g] wild and heres to the free

Heres to my life in a chosen country

 Heres to Alaska and me

 I was born in a cabin on Little Mul chatna

 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

Heres to Alaska, heres to the people

Heres to the [Am/g] wild and heres to the free

Heres to my life in a chosen country

 Heres to Alaska and me

Oh, for a [Am/g] 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

Heres to Alaska, heres to the people

Heres to the [Am/g] wild and heres to the free

Heres to my life in a chosen country

 Heres to Alaska and me

Oh, heres to Alaska and me
