Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee in a thermos Frost on the glass Sun taking its sweet time To climb past the pass Moose in the driveway Big tracks in the snow Kids at the window Whispering "There they go" (woah) [Chorus] This that Anchorage state of mind Midnight sun and the long dark nights From the Sound to the ridgeline glow We live where the wild things roam Salmon run and the rivers sing Bears on the bank like it's their home gym If you want that wide-open kind of life Alaska’s got you Every time [Verse 2] Boots by the back door Mud Dust Rain Weekend on the trailhead Clouds Clear Same Hiking up the switchbacks Breath turns to steam Mountain on the skyline Looks bigger than the dream (oh yeah) [Chorus] This that Anchorage state of mind Midnight sun and the long dark nights From the Sound to the ridgeline glow We live where the wild things roam Salmon run and the rivers sing Bears on the bank like it's their home gym If you want that wide-open kind of life Alaska’s got you Every time [Bridge] Tag a deer in the valley Cast a line in the tide City lights in the distance But the peaks still steal your eyes Snowmachines in the backyard Kayaks on the roof Every season a story Every morning living proof (hey!) [Chorus] This that Anchorage state of mind Midnight sun and the long dark nights From the Sound to the ridgeline glow We live where the wild things roam Salmon run and the rivers sing Bears on the bank like it's their home gym If you want that wide-open kind of life Alaska’s got you Every time
