I took the back roads through Fisherman's CovenTracing my way home to MainenThere's color on the treesnBoats out on the seasnHalleluia, some things never change.nnThere's a schooner out in YorktownnShe's white as a wedding gownnBreaking the crest of the wavesnI saw my ghost in PortlandnOn the cobblestones a younger mannTrying his best to misbehavenn[chorus 1]nMaine, Maine, look how the years have changed menThe road has rearranged menWon't you tell me who I am?nn[chorus 2]nMaine, Maine, your rivers and back roads claim menAh, the ocean is calling - it names menIt's the voice of an old friendnWelcome home to MainennIt's a white-line roadnThrough Hickory GrovenA cider house with frost on the eavesnThere's a woman up in Camden [**I took a left for Bangor]nWith a brass bed I could land in [**There's woman there I'm longing for]nMakes me wonder why I'd leavenn[repeat chorus 2]nnPapa's in his wool capnWaiting on a cold snapnFixing up a Sunday feastnThe sheet's are on the linenI'm taking back in time [**The flannel ones are mine]nTo when time was something I didn't need [**Mama's making up the beds we need]nn[repeat chorus 1]nn[repeat chorus 2]nnWelcome home to Maine, Maine, Maine [repeat]
