North Country's Own

To hell with cabin fever, the winter and the cold
I can't live like no hermit, I will die before I'm old
I got chains around my tires, 12 and 20 gauge
Mountains full of moose and bear, way out on the range
It's a nice night in Alaska
To spend some time alone
It's a nice night in Alaska
To be north country's own

Leavin in the mornin', I got a rod and a line
Got a stream no one knows about, out past that copper sign
It's got 10,000 salmon, seen them suckers run
From the Kashwitna to Cordova, and a bridge that still ain't done
It's a nice night in Alaska
To spend some time alone
It's a nice night in Alaska
To be north country's own

Yeah them northern lights are burnin', like the flames of my youth
You don't have to be on lsd to find the divine truth
You just look on up above you put the world in your hand
There's just somethin' bout being the only one for miles in this land
It's a nice night in Alaska
To spend some time alone
It's a nice night in Alaska
To be the north country's own

I'm headed back Anchorage, after two days in the pine
Found my center once again near that wrangell line
I ll be back before I know it, before the fall it starts to turn
Into a winter full of misery, I'm gonna let that timber burn
It's a nice night in Alaska
To spend some time alone
It's a nice night in Alaska
To be the north country's own

Yeah them northern lights are burnin', like the flames of my youth
You don't have to be on lsd to find the divine truth
You just look on up above you put the world in your hand
There's just somethin' bout being the only one for miles in this land
It's a nice night in Alaska
To spend some time alone
It's a nice night in Alaska
To be the north country's own

It's a nice night in Alaska
To be the north country's own
