About a gunshot away thereâs a place that I long to be -
tippinâ bottles with me old cock.
When the shitâs all said and sorted, I plan to settle down and stay -
one middle finger to the landlocked.
From the first time boatinâ or thereâs not too much I can recall.
I kissed a plastic cod and drank rum till I was friggered.
I decided then and there that Iâd return, even if I had to crawl.
Something outside was broken and something inside me, triggered.
Itâs a long ride home, but itâs always my destination.
Itâs a long ride home.
If the sun bursts apart at the end of the world, I donât think I will give a damn
as long as Iâm surrounded by friends and pints in goddamned Newfoundland.
So hereâs to Newfoundland.
I breathed a sigh of relief the next time steppinâ off the plane.
Itâd been a long, hard, vapid winter.
Johnny and the boys were waiting there ready to explain,
they werenât there to drive us, just a welcome back to the Island.
So we taxied to the venue to prepare for the night to sweep.
Slept in the back room until the India showed up.
When we finally took the stage, it shifted beneath our feet.
We stood on the shoulders of proud Newfoundlanders.
I think it bears repeating
I think it bears repeating
I think it bears repeating that no one buckled under.
We all got bit by the cod that we all kissed.
It left an infection in our lips and a longing in the mist.
Youâre as deep as the grave, and youâre marching to the heartbeat of the land.
Youâre as deep as the grave, and youâre marching to the heartbeat of the land.
Yes, I be a Newfoundlander Bây. Not by birth, but in my heart. Yes, I be a Newfoundlander Bây.
Yes, I be a Newfoundlander Bây. Not by birth, but in my heart. Yes, I be a Newfoundlander Bây.
Youâre as deep as the grave, and youâre marching to the heartbeat of the land.
Youâre as deep as the grave, and youâre marching to the heartbeat of the land
