Alaska is the eastern most state of the USA.
Canada is simultaneously to the north, south, east and west of the US.
That is awesome!
Yeah, but it settles in its final location to the south...
I am not sure what that means. Does that mean it is also the southern most state?

The joke being if Alaska is "The east" it's where the sun rises, then goes 99% around the planet to Cali
Pretty sure it's "a finer location".
For 27 years I have been singing this as "at least it settles in a _fun_location", like "you guys may get the sun rise but of course it wants to settle down in California" and I thought that was such a clever line.
Now I don't know how to feel.
A lot of 90s music sounds deep because we attribute meaning to it and our memories of the times...
Then you see the lyrics and nope, it was just the heroin
What about Hawaii?
The Hawaiian Island chain is a lot bigger than most realize and stretch for miles and miles but the Alaskan Island chain actually goes over the International Date Line. That is what makes it the “eastern” most state.
Presumably also the Westernmost state as well?
