Down East
"Down East", also "Downeast", is a term referring to parts of eastern coastal New England and Canada, particularly the U.S. state of Maine and Canada's Maritime Provinces. The phrase apparently derives from sailing terminology: sailors from western ports sailed downwind toward the east to reach the area. The area referred to closely corresponds to the historical French territory of Acadia. Within Maine, the phrase may refer specifically to the easternmost regions, also called Down East Maine. A person from the area may be called a down-easter.
Etymology
The origin of the phrase "Down East" is typically traced to nautical terminology referring to direction, rather than location. In the warm months most suitable for sailing, the prevailing winds along the coast of New England and Canada blow from the southwest, meaning ships sail downwind to go east. As such, the northeastern stretches were said to be "Down East" in relation to the major western cities such as Boston. Correspondingly, sailors spoke of going "up to Boston" from these ports, a phrase still common in Maine, despite the fact that Boston is around fifty miles to the south of Maine. The term can be used as an adverb, adjective or noun. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest known use in print to 1825. The phrase "down-easter", meaning a person from "Down East", appeared in print in 1828.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

Lyrics:
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I've worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep

Lyrics:
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I've worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep

Down East
"Down East", also "Downeast", is a term referring to parts of eastern coastal New England and Canada, particularly the U.S. state of Maine and Canada's Maritime Provinces. The phrase apparently derives from sailing terminology: sailors from western ports sailed downwind toward the east to reach the area. The area referred to closely corresponds to the historical French territory of Acadia. Within Maine, the phrase may refer specifically to the easternmost regions, also called Down East Maine. A person from the area may be called a down-easter.
Etymology
The origin of the phrase "Down East" is typically traced to nautical terminology referring to direction, rather than location. In the warm months most suitable for sailing, the prevailing winds along the coast of New England and Canada blow from the southwest, meaning ships sail downwind to go east. As such, the northeastern stretches were said to be "Down East" in relation to the major western cities such as Boston. Correspondingly, sailors spoke of going "up to Boston" from these ports, a phrase still common in Maine, despite the fact that Boston is around fifty miles to the south of Maine. The term can be used as an adverb, adjective or noun. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest known use in print to 1825. The phrase "down-easter", meaning a person from "Down East", appeared in print in 1828.
