Michigan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The clouds move over Pontiac skies
Their silent thunder matches mine
I know this feeling from long ago
I wonder if it's gone now I know
So when she calls don't send her my way
When it hurts you'll know it's the right thing
Michigan's in the rearview now
Keep your hands where I can see them
You took the words right out of my mouth
When you knew that I would need them
What am I supposed to do now
Without you
Without you
It's unannounced like you'd expected
(Her mom broke down brake line in poor town records)
And all that's left is a blind reflection
But you know what's coming and you regret it
So when she comes don't send her my way
When it hurts most it's the right thing
Michigan's in the rearview now
Keep your hands where I can see them
You took the words right out of my mouth
When you knew that I would need them
What am I supposed to do now
Without you
Without you
Michigan's in the rearview now
Keep your hands where I can see them
You took the words right out of my mouth
When you knew that I would need them
What am I supposed to do now
Without you
Without you
