Bury your head down in Michigan (What could go wrong?) Lyrics by Elm creek rd

Choose your people carefully, You shouldn’t run away with just anyone!

0

Move up north
Leave behind your parents, your pets
Your siblings and friends
Move up north
You can always fake your death
And go bury your head down
In Michigan
I came across a lonely boy
And I asked him his story
And I listened to what he had to say:
"I had to run away
I had to leave my home
My father drowned himself in liquor
And my mother was never really in the picture
I never had a friend to my name
So, I walked here from Maryland
I wanted to start new again
But everything is worse, if not the same"
And I had to let him stay
I had to let him tag along, what could go wrong?
I mean, he's awfully sweet
And the company completes me
Your father and your sister are both sitting back at home
Your father grabs a beer, and your sister's all alone
They noticed you went missing, like, seven days ago
But they never bothered to follow your footprints in the snow
(Did they even?)
(Did they even?)
Headed north
When we were halfway there, we stopped
And we stared at the river
Headed north
I've never seen a place like this before
We got stopped by the cops
We headed to the station
Me and the little boy were shakin'
They asked us where we came from
We said that we were locals
But the cops didn't buy it one bit
So, we stayed overnight
But we couldn't sleep
We stayed up 'til we saw the rising morning
The boy got sent back to Maryland
To this day, I can't get through to him
But no one ever came to claim me
And I cry all..
I cry all day
(Cry all day)
(Cry all day)
Headed for Michigan
I just want to start new again
But I don't have a friend to my name
I'm headed for Michigan
I just want to start new again
But everything is worse, if not the same
So, I'll cry all day
I cry all day
Well, I'll make my bed in some bushes
Hope I wake up safe
Lay my head in the dumpster
Hope I wake up okay
Maybe leaving home wasn't my greatest thought
I'm cold, hungry, and lost
My father and my mother are still sitting back at home
I've sat and pondered calling them on a payphone
They noticed I went missing, like, several weeks ago
But I doubt they'd bother to follow my footprints in the snow
My father and my mother are still sitting back at home
Well I'm all out of money, so I can't afford the phone
They noticed I went missing, like, several weeks ago
But I doubt they'd bother to follow my footprints in the snow
Or did they even know?
(What could go wrong?)
(What could go wrong?)
(What could go wrong?)
(I cry all night long)
(While nature sings its taunting, mocking
Fucking haunting song)
(What.. Could.. Go wrong?)
