Father says head down

All the words you know

As the miles between us grow

Keep the maple tree carved with the name of my love

The hills we would sled race down

Lake Michigan stay endless and painted in sky
Goodbye

Those days are gone for good

All the signs read no gringo

But somehow we'll find our way

Maybe waiting at dawn by the factory doors

Sunburnt and bent in the fields

We'll be silent as the grave

You just pack up your things and move on
And move on
A minorAm
And move on
