Acadia (in the French language Acadie) was a colony of New France, in northeastern North America that included parts of eastern Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and modern-day Maine to the Kennebec River. During much of the 17th and early 18th centuries, Norridgewock on the Kennebec River and Castine at the end of the Penobscot River were the southern-most settlements of Acadia. The actual specification by the French government for the territory refers to lands bordering the Atlantic coast, roughly between the 40th and 46th parallels. Later, the territory was divided into the British colonies which became Canadian provinces and American states. The population of Acadia included descendants of emigrants from France (i.e., Acadians) along with those from the Wabanaki Confederacy. The two communities inter-married, which resulted in a significant portion of the population of Acadia being Métis.
In the house I grew up in, my room in the basement
The hours turning to years we've spent
Remember Chris in the backyard laughing so damn hard
And no one knew why but the rest is forgotten
Behind me sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to belong here
Every memory comes on when I hear that old song
We used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong but Acadia is gone
Ran out of gas on the highway, we walked there and I gave
Drunken speeches on sobriety
Now we've all moved away and somehow we came in
But I remember where it began at
Behind me sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to belong here
Every memory comes on when I hear that old song
We used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong but Acadia is gone
Remember in 1712 Acadia road fell
They tore the house down
Every memory comes on when I hear that old song
We used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong but Acadia is gone, Acadia is gone
In the house I grew up in, remember the faces
When Andrew and I wrecked each other's cars and
