about

Inspired from my year living in Gaspé Quebec Canada.

lyrics

It took me twenty-four hours in the autumn time and when winter came twenty-six or so.
I drove a fairly straight line to Grande-Vallée and then it was nothing but hills until you reach the bay.

I didn’t know the land stretched this far.
Where there’s plenty of road and very few cars.
It’s just the luck of the draw that I found this place.
A beautiful town in a far-away bay; une jolie ville s’appelle Gaspé.

I didn’t think I could keep rollin’ on, but I looked up, I was in Forillon.
With a postcard view round every bend, I understood the name land’s end.

I didn’t know of this peninsula.
Where there are plenty of folks who bleed blue blood.
It’s just the luck of the draw that I found this place.
A beautiful town in a far-away bay; une jolie ville s’appelle Gaspé.

The Chic Choc hills are really something to see.
Home to caribou and the big spruce tree.
They got les baleine bleue and the humpback whale.
It seems every town has got a franco-tale.

I didn’t know I’d be in the same time zone.
I could talk to my folks on the telephone.
It’s just the luck of the draw that I found this place.
A beautiful town in a far-away bay; une jolie ville s’appelle Gaspé.
