lyrics

There's a white barn
Down a long road
That ends in a little town
And a grey house down by the water
Where I'm my Ma and Dad's only daughter
Where the ships pass like thoughts floating on rafts down the Detroit River

There's a long trail
Through the trees
Past the park and peacocks and the gentle breeze
And I'm rolling on my cruiser
With music in my ear
Well there ain't no room for sadness in the open fields of St. Clair

Well this may be my home
But this ain't where I've grown
So I thank the big wide world
From the west coast
To the Scottish shores of the United Kingdom

There's another town
Not very far
Full of beggars and broken down cars
And dreams the size of baseball fields
And flooded aspirations
Where you can run faster than the buses pass
In Detroit city

Well this may be my home
But this ain't where I've grown
So I thank the big wide world
From the west coast
To the Scottish shores of the United Kingdom
