about

"Pelicans" is a sweet summertime song that fits the Trop Rock, Americana, Country, and Lite Rock genres. Think Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, or Zac Brown in a mellow escapist mood. The perfect song for coming out of containment...emotional or physical...and finding contentment.

Produced by Pat Lassiter and Kurt Fortmeyer at River Front Recording in Madison, Tennessee
Executive Producer: Red Wigglers

lyrics

Pelicans
(Kurt Fortmeyer/Roy Holdren)
Dad Zone Music ASCAP/Flatbilly Songs ASCAP

Loaded up my car and put back home behind me
Got a good head start to where the world won’t find me
Soothing sun and salty spray wash away the everyday
And I know everything will be okay when I see

Pelicans on the wind
Pouches packed travelin’
No looking back at where they’ve been
Rest a while then gone again
Where the blacktop ends and the sand begins
Pelicans

Six-pack choir singing songs at sunset
‘Round a driftwood fire with new old friends I just met
The tide has turned I feel the change it’s a perfect end to the perfect day
When gliding gracefully above the waves I see

Pelicans on the wind
Pouches packed travelin’
No looking back at where they’ve been
Rest a while then gone again
Where the blacktop ends and the sand begins
We’re like pelicans

Where the blacktop ends
And the sand begins
We’re like pelicans on the wind
Pouches packed traveling
No looking back at where they’ve been
Rest a while then gone again
Where the blacktop ends and the sand begins
We’re like pelicans on the wind
We’re like pelicans travelin’
We’re like Pelicans gone again
Pelicans
