You can have high hopes. You can
take the long road.You can sit
in silence waiting for a
change.You can make your
buildings tall. Turn around and
sell them all lookin' for a
break in the Michigan
rain.
You can stand with
destiny as you watch your hopes
pick up and leave.You can buy
time as your lifeline starts to
fade.You can pull your curtains
down. Pretend that you don't
hear the sound of last year's
Chevrolets in the Michigan
rain.
High hopes are only gonna get you so far.
This old town it's who you are.
I ain't goin' nowhere. I'm standin' here..
in the Michigan Rain.
You can wait until the
end. You can rebuild again.The
same rat race with a different
name. You can face another day,
as your house is taken away,
along with all your pay in the
Michigan Rain
