Lyrics
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
Come 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 run away
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 to 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?
He's awfully sweet
And the company completes me
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 boy were a little shaken
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 till we saw the light in the 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 day
I cry all day
After days of no one coming they sent me on my way
I'm headed for Michigan
I just want to start new again
But I don't have a friend to my name
So I cry all day
I cry all day
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
Cry all day
I'll make my bed in some bushes
And hope I wake up safe
Lay my head in the dumpster
And hope I wake up okay
Maybe leaving home wasn't my greatest thought
I'm cold hungry and lost
