Under The Bridge

LukeCoomer

I'm from the land of the lakes

Where there's 3 real to every 10 fakes

Make no mistakes

Those diamonds in the rough

They’re worth the work even though it's tough

Believe I played it like Pokémon silver and gold

I found every real one before I left home

I'm from that murder mitten

Just listen

I'd do it again if it was ever my decision

The place legends have fallen and risen

Like Detroit city's motor division 

Where we rep tigers and lions 

I'm not lying

Even though they never win, we strive on tryin 

If we don't succeed we don't quit

We do it again and again til we eventually win

I may be in Ohio but my heart’s up under the bridge

Where my true homies work, fight and live

It's ok, I can forgive

But no matter where I am or what I become

Coldwater, Michigan is where I'm from 

And it's where I'll return when this world strikes me down

Up there in the cemetery in good ol C-town

I left on a seemingly permanent vacation

But my soul is still in Michigan and still on probation
