MICHAEL 											       			       
	
Michael he knows what is right
Michael he knows what is true
Michael he runs to the end of the earth cryin’
‘Cause Michael don’t know what to do

Michael was just a young boy
When his father blamed him for what went wrong
Takin’ him down to the station in town
He said, “I don’t wanna see you no more”
“Cause your momma she don’t need to know
And your sister’s afraid what you’ve done”.
And without a goodbye or a reason to try 
Michael knows he can never go home
	
*CHORUS*

Michael they said moved away
Just to find him a place of his own
And as hard as he try just enough to get by
Michael swore that he’d make it alone
But like a river that always runs dry
Michael found he had nowhere to go
Everywhere that he turned, Lord, he only got burned
And in time Michael only grew old
	
*CHORUS*

Well I read in the paper today
That a young man named Michael was found
At the end of the line, he just ran out of time
And they said he was lyin’ face down
And the only thing they could find
In his pocket a paper that read
“To my father from Michael, I love you so much”
Were the only words that it said
	
*CHORUS*
