I Want to Go Back to Michigan (Down on the Farm) Lyrics

I was born in Michigan and I wish and wish again
That I was back in the town where I was born
There's a farm in Michigan and I'd like to fish again
In the river that flows beside the fields of waving corn
A lonesome soul am I, here's the reason why

I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back to the farm
Far away from harm
With a milk pail on my arm
I miss the rooster, the one that used to
Wake me up at four a.m.
I think a great big city's very pretty
Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there
A certain someone full of charm
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back to the farm
Far away from harm
With a milk pail on my arm
I miss the rooster, the one that used to
Wake me up at four a.m.
I think a great big city's very pretty
Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there
A certain someone full of charm
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm

That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm

I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back to the farm
Far away from harm
With a milk pail on my arm
I miss the rooster, the one that used to 
Wake me up at four a.m.
I think a great big city's very pretty 
Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there 
A certain someone full of charm
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back to the farm
Far away from harm
With a milk pail on my arm
I miss the rooster, the one that used to 
Wake me up at four a.m.
I think a great big city's very pretty 
Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there 
A certain someone full of charm
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm

That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
