The Upper Peninsula

I live in America

With a pair of Payless shoes,

The Upper Peninsula and the television news.

And I've seen my wife at the K-mart.

In strange ideas, we live apart.

I live in a trailer home

With a snowmobile, my car.

The window is broken out

And the interstate is far.

And I drove all night to find my child.

In strange ideas, he's been reviled.

In strange ideas, in stranger times

I've no idea what's right sometimes.

I lost my mind, I lost my life.

I lost my job, I lost my wife.
