[Vocals: male lead vocal] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] First light in the nation falls on Cadillac Mountain stone Lobster boats out of Stonington are heading out alone Lighthouses on the granite where the cold Atlantic roars Maine, you're the rugged quiet of a thousand rocky shores [Chorus] Pine tree shore, Dirigo, I lead the way Chickadee in the balsam at the breaking of the day From Kittery to Katahdin, from Portland to the pines Maine, you're the salt and spruce that keeps me in your lines [Verse 2] Blueberry barrens turning red up Washington County way Moose at the edge of Moosehead in the evening gray Lobster rolls in Wiscasset, a ferry to the isles Maine, you make a stranger stay a while [Chorus] Pine tree shore, Dirigo, I lead the way Chickadee in the balsam at the breaking of the day From Kittery to Katahdin, from Portland to the pines Maine, you're the salt and spruce that keeps me in your lines [Bridge] Way life should be, the sign says when you cross the line Maine, you're the way life should be, and you're mine [Chorus] Pine tree shore, Dirigo, I lead the way Chickadee in the balsam at the breaking of the day From Kittery to Katahdin, from Portland to the pines Maine, you're the salt and spruce that keeps me in your lines
