I took the back roads through Fisherman's Cove Tracing my way home to Maine There's color on the trees Boats out on the seas Halleluia, some things never change. There's a schooner out in Yorktown She's white as a wedding gown Breaking the crest of the waves I saw my ghost in Portland On the cobblestones a younger man Trying his best to misbehave [Chorus 1] Maine, Maine, look how the years have changed me The road has rearranged me Won't you tell me who I am? [Chorus 2] Maine, Maine, your rivers and back roads claim me Ah, the ocean is calling - it names me It's the voice of an old friend Welcome home to Maine It's a white-line road Through Hickory Grove A cider house with frost on the eaves There's a woman up in Camden [**I took a left for Bangor] With a brass bed I could land in [**There's woman there I'm longing for] Makes me wonder why I'd leave [Repeat chorus 2] Papa's in his wool cap Waiting on a cold snap Fixing up a Sunday feast The sheet's are on the line I'm taking back in time [**The flannel ones are mine] To when time was something I didn't need [**Mama's making up the beds we need] [Repeat chorus 1] [Repeat chorus 2] Welcome home to Maine, Maine, Maine [repeat]
