The neighbors moved south
But they'll be back in the spring
That its my turn to leave
I'm starting with a clean slate
But its not helping at all
'Cause time is running out
Someday I know I'll have to settle down
But I know I can do better than this crazy town
Oh, I'm hanging by a thread
Its like I've seen it before
I've gotta get out, get out of Michigan
I call it chasing a dream
But sometimes it takes belief
They these things will always work out
But I've never been the one to just wait around
Oh, I'm hanging by a thread
Its like I've seen it before
I've gotta get out, get out of Michigan
Oh, I remember all the times
All those starry summer nights
When we would laugh until we cry
Oh, such a bittersweet goodbye
But its been welling up inside
I'm turning the pages of my life
