Born In Michigan Lyrics

I was raised in Northern Michigan next to a tobacco shop

Where the summers don't last long and you pray they won't stop

Where the land is plentiful, where your neighbor is your friend

I was born in Michigan

Where Sundays mean you're Christian but Friday your faith bends

Those downstate girls from Plymouth are only here for the weekend

Where the woods grow untamed

And the sun can't get through

I was born in Michigan

I moved out west to hide from the frozen north

Drove a tourist bus for the city bringing people to the shore

But I got tired of that life, yeah I was done with seeing the sun

I went home to Michigan

And though it's not perfect

And the weather is a bitch

It calls to me like my brother does

When he's stuck in a ditch

And though I've been here and there a couple times before

I'm at home in Michigan
