I’m going back to the place that I know
I’m on my way and I’m heading down home
Doesn’t matter how long its been
Know I’m going see you again
Eh yo I’m going back to Hali, so that I can I kick it
Go and see the family and handle some business
I love my city, but some times it gets hectic
I need a place where I can go and get rested
I’m talkin about the
Maritimes, yeah that's where I’m goin
Might not be born there, but I’m still so
Scotian
It’s reunion when I kick it with cousins
Cases of
Keiths and lobster by the dozens
Yeah I’ve had some great times in the west
Made a lot of memories that I will never forget
But if I got to choose to a coast I got to choose the east
If you ain’t been there… you got to go out there
Don’t just stop at the Fax gotta go all the way
Scenery on the trail will blow you away
I’m talkin
Cape Breton… trust me you’ll see
You heard about the
South but ain’t no hospitality… like
I’m going back to the place that I know
I’m on my way and I’m heading down home
Doesn’t matter how long its been
Know I’m going see you again
When I’m goin…
Down Home
I’m going Down Home
I’m headin Down Home
Of all the places that
I go nothing compares to Down Home
Where I’m at they always ask where you from…
And they never satisfied, lke ain’t done…
We ain’t first or second, need to get it straight son…
Cause we been here for several generations…
Some came on the railroad but didn’t take no train
So you could say freedom runs in our veins
If you don’t understand, let me explain
Folks will tell you where you came when you say your last name
When you the street make sure to say “Whats up”
Otherwise they’ll will assume that actin stuck up…
We our like our drink, if its passed to us
Won’t turn it down but don’t think that you can catch up
With a Scotian… we known… to go all night
Party in the kitchen til you see the sunlight
Just watch out for these women if you havin relations
Might found that you related
Chorus
I don’t get the chance nowadays like when I was younger
Back then I went down home every summer
Just as soon as I get down there
But you can find me out in
Whitney Pier
Or
New Glasgow… yeah you know
Ain’t nothing like when I go down home
Pops used to play some
Rita McNeil
He told me son, you gotta know where you from…
