Curtis Eller's American Circus — Washtenaw County lyrics

Lyrics

Hey Charlie shake my hand
I m takin off for the promise land
Look here man, I got my hat on my head
My feet in my shoes are heavy as lead
Oh Virginia, you gotta get me outa here
Yea Virginia, you gotta get me out
Well I been hearin bout World War II
Airplane engines and combat shoes
Tiny little people crawlin in the grease
And I m signed on to a one-year lease
But I m not hangin around no more, I never called this home before
Oh Virginia, you gotta get me outa here
Yea Virginia, you gotta get me out
I m down in the left lane Keepin my hands on the wheel
Getting out of Washtenaw County and diggin in my heals
WeLL, the kids are hangin around in a broken down paper mill
And the Huron river don t act alone and a passenger train can kill
Ooo.that s Michigan Avene for you
You know it only leads outa town
Oh Virginia, you gotta get me outa here
One way or another, man, well you gotta get me out
I m down in the left lane Keepin my hands on the wheel
Getting out of Washtenaw County and diggin in my heals
I m down on the beltway around Washington DC
Getting outa Washtenaw County
I m getting outa Washtenaw County
I m getting out of Washtenaw County
And I m gonna burn down Ypsilanti
