Michigan greeted me in gridded lights from 10,000 feet
I forget the water home, the right hand pulling at something I know
Peninsula, you lonely land, I'll seek you out just as fast as I can
Saginaw, your killing fields, the darkness across the bay seems real
But I'm headed south, so fare thee well, to my home in time for the dinner bell
And now you know, just where I'm from, sad to leave Detroit 'fore the work is done
Winter in my bones, balance the greed of the sun I have stolen
Fall leaves, in my breath, burning their colors back to my senses
Summer in my face, sweet sweaty mornings of buzzing landscapes
Oh, take me home
West bound now, black ice dance, misleading comfort devastating romance
Lovely spin, white blanket crash, hitchhike to Lansing trying to make it back
To my home, where love was found, Lake Michigan baptismal country ground
Northern roads and painted sky, traversing in darkness so turn off the lights
Mackinac, won't you bridge the gap, between my heart and where I now am at
Superior, won't you let me hide, with the stones you've smoothed to decorate your lines
Michigan is calling, my ears how they perk at the sound of her singing
Michigan, I'm sighing, ghost of the lips I remember kissing
Michigan, I'm trying, to slip back to the home I've been missing
