Well Johnson van dyke Grimsby was paroled in ´89 He never walked on a carpet never tasted dinner wine His old eyes were slowly fading as he walked out of the gate
And he breathed the first free air he´d breathed since 19-0-8 Howdy do Michigan city you´re sure pretty sight But I know there´s bigger cities and more exciting nights But I think your girls are pretty and I love your children too Michigan city Indiana howdy do Michigan city Indiana howdy do Michigan city Indiana howdy do Filled with the joy of freedom he didn´t know that he was old Because time don´t really matter when it´s bubbling in your soul Well I don´t think he was bitter because he sure had a smile And down the streets of Michigan city he walked his first free miles
