American Strife

When your heart flies at half mast
You don’t have to approve
The neighbors might think
Your father will drink
We’ll all go home with the news
When you’re feeling an outcast
You don’t have much to lose
Your mother will call
In the sleep of the fall
And send you those old winter shoes
Chorus:
Baby cries, no one hears
And you regret the last six years
And move away from here
Throw out your line but nothing bites
Maybe that’s a woman’s right
This is our American
American Strife
When you’ve broken a promise
To live life as you might
Your brother will say
On Thanksgiving Day
“Woman, remember your rights”
When you go to the workplace
Will they see you the same
The man at the desk
Won’t give you a rest
And tell you “don’t give it a name”
Chorus
When you go to the office
Will they tell you the truth?
The nurse will look down
And say that’s the sound
Of something bigger than you
Chorus

Better Off

True I gave up all my memories
For the sake of something promised me
Let my heart, can’t ask for it back
Pulled out dusty bags just to pack
You are the one I run to
When I’m feeling small
Maybe this is better after all
Left some shoes and my winter coat behind
Promises were only practiced lines
Paid the rent, never thinking twice
Watched as windows covered up with ice
You are the one I turn to
When I’m feeling down
Maybe I’m just better with you around
All the winter snow shut us in
Let my gentle soul turn on in
Called my friend, cried until the dawn
You never even guessed you were wrong
You are the one I fend for
Even when you’re blind
Wish I was still proud to call you mine
Packed my bag and rolled it to the door
Left your favorite book, nothing more
Left before I could feel your rage
You’re a margin note on this page
You are the one I loved too
Much to see the truth
Maybe I’m just better off
Without you

I am not alone in my own thoughts
I’ve got you haunting my mind
Not as close to home as I thought
Got a couple hundred highway lines
Sure it’s seven in the making
A slow October seems ever so still
Memories never worth forsaking
Wish we had those summer months to fill
Michigan and lonely friends I’m coming
River Rouge and missing you, I’m running
Broken on the wheels of living
I am not the one giving up
You have welcomed me into your home
I know every inch, every corner
Comfort of the things I have known
Suddenly I’m no longer a foreigner
Michigan and lonely friends I’m coming
River Rouge and missing you, I’m running
Broken on the wheels of living
I am not the one giving up
You pick me up when I fall in
Dust me off again and again
Michigan, you are the state of my heart
Michigan and lovely friends I’m coming
River Rouge and missing you, I’m running
Come, we all can be forgiving
I am not the one giving up
