lyrics

MICHIGAN WEATHER

WITH HER BLUE EYES TWINKLING I FELL RIGHT IN
I LEARNED MUCH LATER IT’S JUST A SWITHCH SHE HITS
BUT IT SOAKED UP EASY LIKE WATER TO A SPONGE
WHEN SHE WRUNG ME OUT LATER IT WASN’T MUCH FUN
BLACK AGAINST WHITE, CHECKERBOARD DAYS
MY POCKETS EMPTY BUT THE BED WAS ALWAYS MADE
AND SHE CAN SAY NOW THAT SHE KNOW ME BACK WHEN
I BOUGHT THE WISKEY, SHE PAID FOR THE REST

CHORUS:
BUT LOCAL
IT’S LIKE MICHIGAN WEATHER SOMETIMES
LIKE MICHIGAN WEATHER BUT COLDER
LIKE MICHIGAN WEATHER
DON’T WHINE

THERE AIN’T ANY DOUBT I’D SEEN BETTER DAYS
AND IT’S A HARD LUCK GROUND KICKING ROCKS THAT WAY
BUT TELL ME WHAT’S ENOUGH IF THE CIRCLE RUN DRY
TELL ME WHERE TO REACH IF THE OTHER ONE WON’T TRY
IT’S EASY TO ROMANTICIZE A PAST
THE SHAPE OF HEART, THE RING IN HER LAUGH
THE LOOK IN HER EYES WHEN SHE’S LAYING ON HER BACK
THE WIDE-OPEN SPACE, GIVING UP TOO FAST

CHORUS:

REMORSE BECAUSE I LOST HER, REGRET IT DIDN’T WORK
SURPRISED AT WHAT IT COST ME, ANGER FOR THE HURT
MAD AT MYSELF, RAGE FOR HIM
PUZZLEMENT AND WONDER WE TRIED, AIMED AND MISSED
PERHAPS I’LL KNOW BETTER, PERHAPS NEXT TIME
I’LL BE READY FOR LOVE, BULLET PROOF FROM LIES
REMEMBER EVERY LESSON, WISELY CHOOSE
MAKE MYSELF OVER, FORGET ABOUT THIS
AND YOU

CHORUS:

( D A D G A D )
