Michigan for the Winter

I need a change of scene 'til the seasons change

Maybe longer nights, maybe shorter days

Will get me over what I can't get past

If you're gone and you won't come back

Maybe a little space or a little time

Somewhere far from here will get you off my mind

I can't stay watching you move on all February long

I'm going to Michigan for the winter

Between the dark and the light of the sky and the snow

Most people go south for the weather

Instead of hiding out in the cold, but

Just in case you wanna change your mind

I'm lettin' you know where you can find me

46th Street, that first right turn

Down a dirt road watching that wood stove burn

I'm either waiting out your memory

Or for you don't wanna come back to me

Whichever comes first until it don't hurt no more

I'll be up North

I'm going to Michigan for the winter

I'm going to Michigan

This seven-hour long empty rear-view drive

Isn't what I want, but I guess it's time

To say goodbye to the way things were

I've finally come to terms, but

Just in case you wanna change your mind

I'm lettin' you know where you can find me

46th Street, that first right turn

Down a dirt road watching that wood stove burn

I'm either waiting out your memory

Or for you don't wanna come back to me

Whichever comes first until it don't hurt no more

I'll be up North

I'm going to Michigan for the winter

Ooh, yeah

I'm going to Michigan for the winter

'Tween the dark and the light of the sky and the snow

Most people go south for the weather

But I just wanna be alone

Just in case you wanna change your mind

I'm lettin' you know where you can find me

46th Street, that first right turn

Down a dirt road watching that wood stove burn

While I'm waiting out your memory

Girl, the only place that I'm supposed to be

Is sittin' in a chair with a Bible or a beer

'Til my heart don't hurt no more

I'm going to Michigan for the winter

Yeah, I'm going to Michigan for the winter
