TenBreathSun Nation "You're Not Lost (You're Just Here)" Author: Redge Robichaud Backup Singer: Sabrina W. Upbeat country/folk, ~96–100 BPM, Redge solo with Sabrina background harmonies Verse 1 (English) You pulled off the highway with your GPS confused Restigoosh came up and you had nothing left to lose The sign said bienvenue before it said hello Welcome to the place that most of Canada don't know Verse 2 (English) Don't worry 'bout the accent, we'll slow it down for you Half the time we're not sure which language we're into You'll order something coffee and end up with a poutine Best mistake you ever made — you know just what I mean Chorus (bilingual) You're not lost, you're just here Best wrong turn of your whole career Restigoosh runnin' wide and clear Câline, t'es chanceux d'être icitte Pull up a chair, have a beer You're not lost — you're just here Verse 3 (Chiac) On va t'montrer le Restigoosh River avant qu'tu r'partes Le Salmon Festival, les feux, les chars T'as jamais vu un ciel de même la nuit Pentoute — reste encore, t'as pas fini Verse 4 (English) The locals wave at strangers like they've known you all their life The lady at the dépanneur will ask about your wife You'll try to say merci and it'll come out like "mair-see" She'll laugh and say "close enough, mon ami" Chorus (bilingual) You're not lost, you're just here Best wrong turn of your whole career Restigoosh runnin' wide and clear Câline, t'es chanceux d'être icitte Pull up a chair, have a beer You're not lost — you're just here Bridge (half-spoken, Redge — tourist exchange) Now I know what you're thinkin' — "Where exactly am I?" New Brunswick. Northeast corner. Acadian country. Restigoosh County. (to the tourist) So where were you headed anyway? (tourist, struggling) Uh... Kouchi... Kouchi-kouchi... Kouchibouguac. Yeah. That's it. Don't worry — you'll get there. But tonight? You're stayin' here. And no — you can't pronounce it yet. But you will. Final Chorus (bigger, crowd feel — Sabrina harmonies full) You're not lost, you're just here Best wrong turn of your whole career Restigoosh runnin' wide and clear Câline, t'es chanceux d'être icitte Pull up a chair, have a beer You're not lost — you just found us, cher
