about

This song is about living in Door County, Wisconsin – the glorious upper peninsula.

lyrics

You finally made it down this road
It took some time
You finally made it across that county line
A new place and you’re the new face
But you won’t fit in
They say please stay without good pay
And a play to live

We’ll put you inside this box
To see if your roots grow
But we’ll cut them from the top
‘Cause there’s no one here you know
Mmmm

An almost empty house in
An almost empty town
careful, don’t get too close
‘Cause they’re bound to shut out
Yeah

CHORUS
The world is closing in on me
Like the sun in the sky
I’m sinking farther than the sea
And no one blinks an eye
But sometimes it’s beautiful
To be on your own
Even when you don’t have a home

I came here to tell the stories of this town
But it’s stuck in it’s old ways
Shooting new ideas down
I want to sit at local bars
I want to drink local beers
But that’s kind of hard to do
When they do nothing to keep me here

CHORUS

It’s that family line
Time is slow, but moving fast
Am I wasting mine?
This place is stuck in the past
You’re wasting your time too
And when everybody leaves
What are you going to do?

You finally made it down this road
It took some time
You finally made it across that county line
