Michigan

Just get me to Michigan so I can finally be with my true love again
Just get me to Michigan so I can be met with a genuine smile
Set my bearings twenty-two hours north until I hit the Great Lakes
Then on to the Upper Peninsula where he waits

And every mile’s like an ocean
It’s drowning my thoughts and it grows every day we’re apart
So get me to Michigan so that he can revive my heart

Just get me anywhere that his face might be found in the swarm of the crowd
Where for even a moment, I might imagine that he is here now
Spanning the distance with sweet soft words into the telephone line
Somehow it’s never enough to satisfy me

And every mile’s like an ocean
It’s drowning my thoughts and it grows every day we’re apart
So get me to Michigan so that he can revive my heart

Just get me to Michigan so I won’t live lean anymore on the lonely days
Though I know that this too soon shall pass
‘Cause I never had to learn how to survive in want of a part of your soul
But now the lessons come hard and the lessons come fast

And every mile’s like an ocean
It’s drowning my thoughts and it grows every day we’re apart
And late in the night when my phone rings, it breaks up my bad dream
And my head’s above water in part
But life isn’t static and signals and traffic and time zones
It’s face to face and skin on skin
So get me to Michigan so I can finally be with him
So just get me to Michigan so he can revive my heart
So just get me to Michigan so he can revive my heart
