verse 1
I live in America with a pair of Payless shoes
The Upper Peninsula and the television news
I've seen my wife at the K-Mart
In strange ideas we live apart
verse 2
I live in a trailer home with a snowmobile, my car
The window is broken out and the interstate is far
I drove all night to find my child
In strange ideas he's been revived
verse 3
In strange ideas, in stran-ger times
I've no idea what's right sometimes
I lost my mind, I lost my wife
I lost my job, I lost my life
