[Verse]
DWell Johnson Van Dyke Grigsby was paroled in '89 GHe never walked oDn a carpet never tasted dinner wine AHis old eyes were slowly fadGin' as he walked out of the gate ADnd he breathed the fiArst frDee air he'd breathed since 19-0-8
[Chorus]
GHowdy do Michigan City you're sure pretty sight DBut I know there's bigger cities and more excitin' nights GBut I think your girls're pretty and I love your children too DMichigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do AMichigan City IndDiana howdy do
[Verse]
DFilled with the joy of freedom he didn't know that he was old GCause time don't reaDlly matter when it's bubblin' in your soul AWell I don't think he was biGtter cause he sure had a smile DAnd down the streets Aof MichiDgan City he walked his first free miles
[Chorus]
GHowdy do Michigan City you're sure pretty sight DBut I know there's bigger cities and more excitin' nights GBut I think your girls're pretty and I love your children too DMichigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do AMichigan City IndDiana howdy do
