live in America
With a pair of Payless shoes
The upper peninsula
And the television news

And I've seen my wife
At the K-Mart
In strange ideas
We live apart

I live in a trailer home
With a snow mobile, 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

In strange ideas
In stranger times
I've no idea
What's right sometimes

I lost my mind
I lost my life
I lost my job
I lost my wife
