ohio to michigan

once upon a time this dirt road was an island
sequestered off its life to all time and space
and all the people comfortable in their unknowing
we’re all too comfortable not knowing

you and me got everything, everything we need

rose comes to my door selling jesus
like clockwork every month on monday afternoons
gives me pamphlets and tells me to pray
says this god of hers gonna save me someday

you and me got everything, everything we need
this ain’t no life for the faint of hearted
this is a lesson, a lesson in letting go
we are busting out of this here stereo

we come from somewhere living off each others dreams
with our blood carrying our memories
from ohio to michigan
and the miles and miles of compromises

you and me got everything, everything we need
this aint no life for the faint of hearted
this is a lesson, a lesson in letting go
we are busting out of this here stereo
