I'm going down to Lake Michigan
I'm gonna throw myself into the sea
I'm going down to Lake Michigan
And that's the last you're gonna see of me

I ain't got nobody
Ain't nobody got me
I ain't got nobody
Guess that's the way the lord
Wanted it to be

And if you wanna tell me some story
Some story before I go
About how things are gonna get better
Well I've heard that story before

Don't matter when you find me
Don't put my body in a box
Just leave me in the water
Down among the rocks

Cause I'm going down to Lake Michigan
I'm gonna throw myself into the sea
I'm going down to Lake Michigan
And that's the last you're gonna see of me
