Lyrics
OH, CECELIA!
Words and Music by Ingrid MacDonald
Cecelia,
Waiting by the road just to be with you
Once I might have been too proud
But I’ve lost my hold on those reasons
Lost my hold
Cecelia,
Nothing left except what I show you
Got this far without looking back
Wanting to be on the road with you
Want to be on the road
We hitch hiked west out on Highway One
You stood beside me in your pink t-shirt
The one that says
"Cape Breton Highlands National Park"
Oh, Cecelia!
Cecelia,
That yellow jacket that trucker gave you.
I knew you liked to push it hard
But I didn't think it would get away from you
Didn't think it’d get away
We hitch hiked west out on Highway One
You stood beside me in your pink t-shirt
The one that says
"Cape Breton Highlands National Park"
