Say Yes! to M!ch!gan! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Demonstrate I was raised from the start
By a priest and the maid on the part
Still I know what to wear on my back:
Michigan! Ponshewaing! Cadillac!
[Chorus]
If I ever meant to go away
I was raised, I was raised
In the place, in the place
Still I often think of going back
To the farms, to the farms
Golden arms, golden arms
Start to remind me
[Verse 2]
If the lakes took the place of the sea
If the cars drove themselves, way to be
Opposite to the trains moving in
Rivers run interstate, Michigan
[Chorus]
Still I never meant to go away
I was raised, I was raised
In the place, in the place
Still I often think of going back
To the farms, to the farms
Golden arms, golden arms
Tried to change the
Made in Michigan
I was raised, I was raised
In the place, in the place
Part to remind me
