Packed my heavy winter boots
And bought myself a ticket home
Set out to laugh and cry and be as I was once before
Michigan and friends I'm glad we met again
You've been so far we were so close
Michigan and friends I'm glad we met again
When I came back I saw why I had to go
We sang The Milk Carton Kids
We sang "Michigan" 'Michigan's in the rear-view now'
Michigan and friends I'm glad we met again
You've been so far we were so close
Michigan and friends I'm glad we met again
When I came back I saw why I had to go
This time around I felt all those sunken words had settled down down down
Everything changes we're familiar but strangers who left this town town town
It's been a long time coming long time coming now
We walked that snow ridden road
Fall had passed but I just let go
Michigan and friends I'm glad we met again
When I came back I saw why I had to go
