Michigan Lyrics by Margaret Glaspy
I’m in Michigan and it’s colder than I like
I wouldn’t last two minutes on the interstate riding my motorbike
I’m a city girl but it’s a different world out here in the middle
I’m on solid ground with the friends I’ve found – nobody makes me feel little
You said you didn’t want me
Then why did you come all this way
You said you didn’t need me
Well whose standing in whose driveway
And your high beams are running through the seams of my window shades
Thanks for waking up my roommates
And you slammed the door and it read ‘Excelsior’ on your New York plates
While tears ran down your face
You said I was the one well looks like you jumped the gun on telling me I wasn’t
You thought this might erase what you said that day but it doesn’t
And watching your heart break I could relate because you broke mine
But now I’m in Michigan and I’m doing just fine
You said you didn’t want me
Then why did you come all this way
You said you didn’t need me
Well whose standing in whose driveway
Yes I’m in Michigan and my tail spin has straightened out
And the color in my cheeks is coming back to me after a long hard drought
And you’ve got your needle and thread like I’m half dead out on the table
But on all accounts I am stronger now and my heart is stable
You said you didn’t want me
But you still came all this way
You said you didn’t need me
But honey whose standing in whose driveway
