Fifteen years and the walls are thin in a double wide home here

Not a single thing I do is right, always fighting to belong

Weekends come and go by slow, like everyday I feel alone

Not knowing what the future holds for me and her again

Michigan, mama said it was so cold

But how's a baby supposed to know when someone's missing?

And it's a bumpy ride out of town

A bumpy ride way, way out of town

There's a slew of folks that come and go

I've learned to sing and dance and joke

To make her laugh and hold me close before I lay me down

This restless feeling feeds a fever I can't even understand

Conversations late at night, betwixt a mama and a man

Michigan, mama said it was so cold

But how's a baby supposed to know when someone's missing?

And it's a bumpy ride out of town

A bumpy ride way, way out of town

These angry voices disappear when words I find my mind to hear

Inside of my head I bring 'em clear to keep us all together

Michigan, mama said it was so cold

But how's a baby supposed to know when someone's missing?

And it's a bumpy ride out of town

A bumpy ride way, way out of town

Michigan, mama said it was so cold

But how's a baby supposed to know when someone's missing?

And it's a bumpy ride out of town

A bumpy ride way, way out of town
