Michigan
Well the heat was up when I hit the road
They were rakin’ me right on the coals
I was busted up, I was broken down
I was leaving like I never loved this town
It’s hard to keep it straight when you’re lookin’ back
There were times I went right off the track
With your memory running through my mind
And the trouble waitin’ on the other side
CHORUS
Now I don’t know how I ever got this far
With no one drivin’ that getaway car
And they’re linin’ up just to turn me in
It’s a losing hand, even if you win
Missing you up in Michigan
Now these hands of mine, they’re too cold to pray
For another ending or a better way
The days are short, and the nights don’t end
And I’m givin’ up on going back again
Someday I know when my time is up
And there’s no use drinkin’ from an empty cup
I’m gonna walk right out into the snow
Let the fires warm me when I’m down below
