Someone told me she was out in Colorado Painting the skies And cutting ties to me But I hope she knows that when the sun it draws her shadow that It's pointing back To good ol' Pontiac Where the sidewalks crack And the smoke is black And the hearts attack When the train's on track And she won't come back Maybe the mountains had the fresh air that she needed To fill her lungs With words unsung Or maybe she left because she wanted to be treated A little bit older And a little bit colder And when I tried to hold her I got cold shoulder Even when I told her To stay away from Boulder Maybe my time with her was only a placeholder But I Am stuck within the walls of Michigan And I Don't know if I'm gettin' out again Someone told me she had fallen for a boy there and She followed him down To a small town But I always knew that she was born to be a city girl and I said we'd go Out to Chicago And play in the snow And take things slow And even though We didn't have dough Rich we'd live And old we'd grow And I Am stuck within the walls of Michigan And I Don't know if I'm gettin' out again She could be anywhere right now I agonize of days when she was mine But I Imagine she is somewhere doing fine Someone told me she was out in Colorado Painting the skies And cutting ties to me
