I live in America 

With a pair of Payless shoes 

The upper penisula 

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
