[Verse 1]
Fifteen years and the walls are thin
In a double-wide upon the hill
Not a single thing i do is right
Always fightin' to belong
[Verse 2]
Weekends come and go by slow
Like ev'ry day i feel alone
Not knowin' what the future holds
For me and her again
[Chorus]
Michigan mama said it was so cold
But how's a baby s'posed to know
When someone's missin'
And it's a bumpy ride outta town
It's a bumpy ride way, way outta town
[Verse 3]
There's a slew o' folks they come and go
I learned to sing and dance a joke
To make her laugh and hold me close
Before i lay me down
[Verse 4]
This restless feelin' feeds the fever
I can't even understand
The conversations late at night
Twixt mama and a man
[Chorus]
Michigan mama said it was so cold
But how's a baby s'posed to know
When someone's missin'
And it's a bumpy ride outta town
It's a bumpy ride way, way outta town
[Verse 5]
These angry voices disappear
When words i find my mind to hear
Inside my head i bring 'em clear
To keep us all together
[Chorus]
Michigan mama said it was so cold
But how's a baby s'posed to know
When someone's missin'
And it's a bumpy ride outta town
A bumpy ride way, way outta town
Michigan mama said it was so cold (cold)
But how's a baby s'posed to know
When someone's missin'
And it's a bumpy ride outta town (mm)
Bumpy ride way, way outta town
