lyrics

Every time I’m stuck out in the rain
Every time that lightning carves the sky
I go back to Cape Breton where the mountain’s oversteppin’ All the precious real estate that’s in my mind
I’m going back to Cape Breton in my mind
Back to where the sun and moon both shine
It’s paradise I reckon, a fishing rod’s my weapon Going back to Cape Breton in my mind
Cookin’ eggs in a cast iron
Mama’s planning her retirement
I’ve been skimming the job bank
Dip in the river to the campfire
One of these songs gonna make it big Hot dog, big rig
Lawrence Maxwell H Koughan Coming through get the guitars going Where’s he going?
I’m going back to Cape Breton in my mind
Back to where the sun and moon both shine
It’s paradise I reckon, a fishing rod’s my weapon Going back to Cape Breton in my mind
Sing with me by the water Sing with me by the fire Sing with me by the water Oh won’t you sing
I’m going back to Cape Breton in my mind
Back to where the sun and moon both shine
It’s paradise I reckon, a fishing rod’s my weapon Going back to Cape Breton in my mind
I’m going back to Cape Breton in my mind
I’m going back to Cape Breton in my mind
I’m going back to Cape Breton in my mind
