Michigan Girl

Well it snowed last night in my hometown
And all the schools have been shut down
And the snowplows prowl the streets all by themselves
I remember times that happened to me
And how glad I was to be set free
I wish that I could feel that way right now
CHORUS
Maybe it’s something in the water
Maybe it’s something in the air
Maybe the leaves in the autumn
That keeps me coming back here
I’m a Michigan Girl
Raised in the shade of the white pine
Walked the trails of the Porcupine
Proud to call this home mine
Well I heard they closed The Bridge last week
Cause the wind was high where the water’s deep
& The cars backed up for miles on both sides
& I remember when we rode Big Mac
Afraid we’d fall between the cracks
I can’t wait to take that Northern ride again CHORUS
When the autumn leaves start coming down
Dancing red & gold and oak tree brown
With a kiss of summer still upon the air
I will somehow find my way back home
To the golden dunes and the big lake foam
To the rhythm of my heartbeat and my soul CHORUS
