Packed my bags and left behind
Drove through Indiana nights
It was just me, myself, and I
Back when I had a troubled mind
Drove up north for a brand new start
Found a place to heal my heart
With loved ones near, we'll never part
I'm here to stay when dreams restart
Well, now I'm home in Michigan
I found myself, I'm whole again
Simple days, the sweetest touch
Yeah, life is good and I'm feeling loved
By the rivers edge I cast with ease
There goes all of my worries
And every catch reminds me of
The younger man that I was once
Back home, where I belong
Now I know, you were here all along
New house, new town, a fresh clean slate
I found my peace, it feels so great
I know I'm home, the neighbors wave
Oh, how I have missed this place
Cause now I'm home in Michigan
I found myself, I'm whole again
Simple days, the sweetest touch
Yeah, life is good and I'm feeling loved
By the rivers edge I cast with ease
There goes all of my worries
And every catch reminds me of
The younger man that I was once
Through the struggles and the pain
I found sunshine after rain
Now I know where I belong
Oh, in Michigan, my heart is strong
Cause now I'm home in Michigan
I found myself, I'm whole again
Simple days, the sweetest touch
Life is good and I'm feeling loved
By the rivers edge I cast with ease
There goes all of my worries
And every catch reminds me of
The younger man that I was once
Back home, where I belong
Now I know
You were here all along
You were here all along
