Oh mister train go back where you came from,
home back to Pelican Park
Where birds sing in strange ways,
still with the olden days spark
Deer run with moss feet chasing the plot seeds
down making my dogs bark
Their friends on the roam scare and run
back home when it starts

Birds in the trees sing,
once it's in season you should try the sweet berry wine
My boys stomp on the porch while the girls pick them off the vine
So I'll go, go go go, go go, go back to Pelican Park
Where my mind wanders off and my heart glows in the dark
Yeah, I'll go, go go go, go go, go back to Pelican Park
And I'll see my family, home only can be truly where my love embarks

The apples will freeze if the snow
makes the trees go white as the root of my hair
And I'm getting closer to death but my love doesn't care

We'll stop at the water, thanks to the otters,
we'll cross to our favorite tree
You're shaking the whole way, the cold often worries me
We stop to listen, try not to kiss,
and be quiet as the only bird sings
His lonely voice helps me know someone's listening
Yeah and I'll go, go go go, go go, go back to Pelican Park
Where my mind wanders off and my heart glows in the dark
Yeah, I'll go, go go go, go go, go back to Pelican Park
And I'll see my family,
home only can be truly where my love embarks
It turns to night time lately you might find me
in my old wooden chair
'Cause I'm tired of that there, forced to leave,
'cause I just couldn't take care
And someday I'll go,
go go go, go go,
go back to Pelican Park
Where my mind wanders off and my heart glows in the dark
Yeah, I'll go, go go go, go go, go back to Pelican Park
And I'll see my family,
home only can be truly where my love embarks
I'll see my family,
home only can be truly where my love embarks
