lyrics

I don't smoke but I'll take a cigarette, so you bought two just to get your dollar back.
Who's that man in leather black? With Alaskan eyes and northern lights. With Alaskan eyes and north lights.

He showed me all, with barely no words floating from his mouth. Oh, lesson learned. Alaska man come take me home. Alaska man come build me a home.

He said everybody's from somewhere. Girl even you've got a song to sing. And all this time where has he been? Strong man in black black ink. He's a strong man in black black ink.

He showed me all, with barely no words floating from his mouth. Oh, lesson learned. Alaska man come take me home. Alaska man come build me a home.

He showed me all, with barely no words floating from his mouth. Oh, lesson learned. Alaska man come take me home. Alaska man come build me a home. Alaska man come back for me. Alaska man came back for me.
