Sitting here with tears in my eyes when I read the My World lyrics - moving ... one day I will go there. I love to go places where stars have grown up and maybe experience a litte of how it might have been. And it also just seems to be a very nice place to chill out.

You will find our community a special place - a friendly, charming town that's close to major markets and tourist areas.

Greater Napanee is ideally located on Highway 401. We are halfway between Toronto and Montreal, and midpoint between Toronto and Ottawa.

Greater Napanee is a wonderful mix of rural heritage and urban opportunity, offering full services, access to excellent education, a well trained work force and a superior lifestyle.

Avril Lavigne: My World

Please tell me what is taking place
Cause I can't seem to find a trace
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cause I always forget
Everytime someone tells me their name
It's always gotta be the same

Never wore cover - up
Always beat the boys up
Grew up in a 5, 000 population town
Made my money by cutting grass
Got fired by a fried chicken ass
All in a small town: Napanee

You know I always stay up without sleeping
And think to myself where do I belong forever
In whose arm the time and place

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a day dream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

I never spend less than an hour
Washing my hair in the shower
It always takes 5 hours to make it straight
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids
Though it may take all friggen day
There's nothing else better to do anyway

When you're all alone in the lands of forever
Lay under the milky way
On and on it's getting too late out
I'm not in love this time, this night

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a day dream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

Take some time, mellow out
Party it up but don't fall down
Dont get caught sneak out of the house

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a day dream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a day dream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world
