about

The origin of the Jackie Baker saga. A story of finding home everywhere you go. Album art by Lucy Cahill.

lyrics

Baby faced kid tied up with Lover Queen
Alcohol soaked, Lord, he could be so mean
But he ain't cold, ain't actin' cruel at all
Just twenty-one, and walkin' ten feet tall

Quiet voiced, sayin', "No, nothin' at all,"
Cowboy boots, heels screamin' loud in halls
He looks at her, his little pretty love
"Michigan," he cries, "my only home,"

And the salt, whitens the blacktop
When I run, this is where I'll stop

Midwest kids are free and lovin' themselves
Frozen bones, and souls wrapped up in jails
Wanting to run, they cry the winter's too cold
But Michigan, I cry is my only home

And the salt, whitens the blacktop
When I run, this is where I'll stop

Oh, Michigan, a home to me
I give you all in time of need

Oh Michigan, you're walking tall
Take me there when I do fall
