Acadian Driftwood - Shawn Colvin[00:00:01]

The war was over and the spirit was broken[00:00:15]

The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew[00:00:21]

And we stood on the cliffs and watched the ships[00:00:27]

Slowly sinking to their rendezvous[00:00:33]

They signed a treaty and our homes were taken[00:00:39]

Loved ones forsaken they didn't give a damn[00:00:46]

You try to raise a family end up the enemy[00:00:52]

Over what went down on the plains of Abraham[00:00:58]

Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind[00:01:05]

They call my home the land of snow[00:01:11]

Canadian cold front movin' in[00:01:17]

What a way to ride oh what a way to go[00:01:23]

Then some returned to the motherland[00:01:42]

The high command had them cast away[00:01:49]

And some stayed on to finish what they started[00:01:55]

They never parted they're just built that way[00:02:01]

We had kin livin' south of the border[00:02:07]

They're a little older and they've been around[00:02:13]

They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better[00:02:19]

So pull up your stakes children and come on down[00:02:26]

Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind[00:02:32]

They call my home the land of snow[00:02:38]

Canadian cold front movin' in[00:02:44]

What a way to ride oh what a way to go[00:02:51]

Fifteen under zero and the day became a threat[00:03:09]

My clothes were wet and[00:03:16]

I was drenched to the bone[00:03:17]

I've been out ice fishing too much repetition[00:03:22]

Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known[00:03:28]

Sailed out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre[00:03:34]

Nothin' to declare all we had was gone[00:03:41]

Broke down along the coast[00:03:47]

But what hurt the most[00:03:50]

Cause when the people there[00:03:53]

Said you better keep movin' on[00:03:54]

Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind[00:04:00]

They call my home the land of snow[00:04:05]

Canadian cold front movin' in[00:04:12]

What a way to ride oh what a way to go[00:04:18]

Everlasting summer filled with ill-content[00:04:37]

This government had us walkin' in chains[00:04:43]

This isn't my turf this ain't my season[00:04:49]

Can't think of one good reason to remain[00:04:56]

And we worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans[00:05:02]

It was ever green up until the floods[00:05:08]

You could call it an omen points ya where you're goin'[00:05:14]

But I set my compass north[00:05:20]

I got winter in my blood[00:05:22]

Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind[00:05:27]

They call my home the land of snow[00:05:33]

Canadian cold front movin' in[00:05:39]

What a way to ride[00:05:45]

What a way to ride[00:05:51]

Oh what a way to go[00:05:53]
