Lyrics Boy from Michigan - Edit - John Grant
You
know
my
mama
sewed
clothes
for
Bertha
Wrunklewich
That
lady
who
I
always
thought
was
rich
And
I
considered
her
with
awe
and
wonder
when
she
came
around
And
then
the
summertime
we
went
to
Catherine
Park
A
place
where
you
could
have
yourself
a
summer
lark
Swimming
and
spinning
on
the
merry-go-round
'Til
the
sun
went
down
And
I
was
haunted
by
the
stories
about
Connie's
car
And
how
she
barely
got
out
when
it
caught
on
fire
And
the
trucker
came
along
and
he
saved
her
life
and
she
was
alright
Now
it
sits
across
the
way
from
Hall's
Apple
Farm
A
place
that
I
have
carried
with
me
for
so
long
You
can
find
it
if
you
drive
along
Red
Bud
Trail
Through
the
maple
trees
(In
the
autumn
time)
Beware,
when
you
go
out
there
They'll
eat
you
alive
if
you
don't
take
care
They
have
different
rules
they're
using
The
American
Dream
is
not
for
weak
soft-hearted
fools
And
all
the
neighborhood
boys
They
got
them
permanent
waves
And
we
walk
through
the
cemetery
looking
at
all
the
graves
To
Thompsons's
Market
for
candy
and
pop
We
did
it
almost
every
day
We
used
to
look
to
see
if
we
could
find
a
patch
of
green
As
the
winter
came
to
a
close
And
spring
was
blossoming
The
ground
was
coming
alive
and
it
smelled
so
clean
Beware,
when
you
go
out
there
They'll
eat
you
alive
if
you
don't
take
care
They
have
different
rules
they're
using
The
American
Dream
can
cause
scarring
and
some
nasty
bruising
Beware,
when
you
go
out
there
They'll
eat
you
alive
if
you
don't
take
care
They're
using
different
rules
The
American
Dream
is
not
for
weak
soft-hearted
fools
And
Scotty
said
softly
with
some
sadness
in
his
voice
"You're
just
a
simple
boy
from
Michigan
And
they'll
be
doing
everything
they
can
to
win
So
please,
please,
don't
ever
let
your
guard
down
And
maybe
someday,
you
can
come
back
here
again"
