For beauty we ain't gotta go that far
Truth be told it's in your own backyard
We are an Island like no other, no other place can match it
Yesterday was a t shirt and today you're zipping up your jacket
But you wouldn't trade it away, no matter of fact
You missed home too much when you went away to Halifax
The trees, the mountains the breeze made you travel back to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
Oh Yeah
Everybody has an idea of how perfect it really is (yeah)
Just look right here we got it all, man
Do I wanna leave? Not at all
And I'm proud to say that I'm gonna be a Caper till I'm gone now
I ain't never played a fiddle before, but since I got older I've been listening more man
The talent on this Island just blows me away
And you know that's what all my Capers say
It's got me thinking:
We are an Island, a rock in a stream
We are a people as proud as there's been
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds (check it out)
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton
(Trax where you at?)
The home of our hearts, yeah, you never get it wrong
From the rain in the sky to the Kelly's mountain fog
You know when you're here, you can taste the salt here
From the North Sydney Ferry all the way in the Pier, ya
This place is one of a kind the only place that you'll find June bugs in July
The home of the fid the home of the ( )
Crack your beers all around make a cheers to the ( )
You'll have plenty of fun and if you don't understand us grab the mother tongue
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia are rockin' this ( )
Where we're rockin' the streets, and living to the extremes
Feeling cool summer breeze and brutal winter freeze
Either way it's safe to say take a trip to CB.
Cause this is where you're at when you wanna get away
We're just over the ( ) and we'll be here everyday
We are an Island, a rock in a stream (a rock in a stream ya)
We are a people as proud as there's been (come on)
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton
Like I said this place is awesome
It ain't hard to tell
Big fiddle to the cabbage trail
Rita MacNeil, and The Rankin's and Alexander Graham Bell,
Ride through the North Side Lick-a-chick is what you smell
But it ain't all about the chicken and famous dudes
Take a cruise ( ) music, it will make you move
This ain't a huge island everywhere is nearby
And everybody says: How's she goin' by'
The stereotypes we don't need a list of facts
Like everybody's last name is either Mick or Mac
Everybody sits around and debates on the best hockey team or how to pronounce H
But we love the island all the same
It's like, dude, I think I know you:
What's your fathers name? Huh
The Cape Breton lingo don't even start
That's why it's the home of our hearts man
And that's why we sing
CB is the place to be
Cape Breton Highlands is the place for me
It's the Maritimes is the way to go
I'll be reppin' them at every show
Everywhere I go
Cause:
We are an Island, a rock in a stream
We are a people as proud as there's been
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton
The home of our hearts.
We are an Island, a rock in a stream
We are a people as proud as there's been
In soft summer breeze or in wild winter winds
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton
This place is beautiful
This place is too perfect.
It's the home of our hearts.
Where my Capers at?
