Gm        Dm
I live in America
       D#                F  Gm
With a pair of Payless shoes
             Dm
The Upper Peninsula
         D#         F  Gm
And the television news
         Dm        D#      F      Gm
I've seen   my wife  at the K-Mart
          Dm     D#      F     Gm
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 reviled

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
