"Tied Down" lyrics

"Tied Down"

I just long to be somewhere, where the rivers are rushing faster
Keep moving towards a place with mountains that stretch high
My legs are strong to take me out running
Through the fields that are never brown
I don't want to dig my car out of the snow everyday for six months out of the year

I'm tied down to Michigan, there ain't no home like this one
I'm leaving Michigan, with my heart on my sleeve for the world to steal

I'm gonna find myself, missing the lakes and beaches where I was a boy
Some people will be left, wishing I had stayed
There ain't no cure for this feeling like moving our lives around
I want to be somewhere that people appreciate these kinds of songs

I'm tied down to Michigan, there ain't no home like this one
I'm leaving Michigan, with my heart on my sleeve for the world to steal

Been settling down in this town where we all came together
My wife and my friends, we became a family here
I won't ever betray my memories tasting other seas and landscapes
These trees are fruit and these dreams are free

I'm tied down to Michigan, there ain't no home like this one
I'm leaving Michigan, with my heart on my sleeve for the world to steal
Tied down to Michigan
