Sebago Lyrics

I thought that I was such a big shot

Leaving home to move a thousand miles away

I couldn't wait to leave New England

Couldn't think of a good reason to stay

I never thought that I would miss the ocean

Always thought that that was just a phrase

But I guess it takes a lonely southern summer

To really miss the waves

At Old Orchard beach

But I don't care what eighteen-year-old me said

I'll always be in love with the state of Maine

I'll keep my memories up there in Sebago

'Til I can go and visit them again

A couple years ago they sold our cabin

And then the owner tore it down for some extra space

Even though it's no longer existent

I still say that it's my favorite place

People say that I'm so sentimental

But it's just cause I know nothing stays the same

So maybe if I keep a couple heirlooms

They can keep me anchored in the change

Cause I don't care what eighteen-year-old me said

I'll always be in love with the state of Maine

I'll keep my memories up there in Sebago

'Til I can go and visit them again

Well it's cranberry paint and a creaky back door

And long conversations on a wraparound porch

Nana would sing but she can't do that anymore

The people made the place and that we can't restore

Cause now I know about what love and loss means

Somehow the world still spins after she's gone

But I remember her up in Sebago

And I can hear her in my favorite songs

So I will honor her and sing along
