Midwest Way of Life

You know, I thought I was made of Stronger stuff I thought that I could be a California girl But now I see the sunshine is Not nearly enough And this will never be my corner of the world It's time for me to be true to Who I am And I see that I really don't belong 'round here It took too long for me to Understand That I held myself back by fear Now it's clear, and I'm heading East, I'm not stopping 'til I find That Midwest way of life Where it rains, it snows, the leaves turn gold And a friendship can't be sold I'm goin' home I got to find That Midwest way of life Here they'll pay a million dollars for a house But they still can't see the stars Now how much happiness could that bring? They say in L.A. the weather's always nice But there's hardly any change at all And I'm getting pretty sick of all this spring And courtesy here, it don't mean a thing I thought there would be nothing better than getting out on my own But now I know there's no place like home Like home, home Whoa-oh-oh-whoa I'm heading East, I'm not stopping 'til I find That Midwest way of life Where it rains, it snows, the leaves turn gold And a friendship can't be sold I'm goin' home I got to find That Midwest way of life Where a friendship can't be sold
