Welcome to Michigan - all four Seasons, all in one day, absolutely the Michiganian way. Winter Storm watch, middle of May, Mother nature don't care what you got to say. Seasonal Effective Disorder, all year long, supposed to be Sunny, what went wrong? Lyrics by Joseph M Lenard (author/podcaster) and Suno AI with music by @suno Music system.

[Verse]
Welcome to Michigan
All four seasons in a day
Scrape the frost off your windshield
Then you’re sweating by the bay
Winter storm watch
Middle of May
Mother Nature shrugs her shoulders
Doesn’t care what you gotta say

[Chorus]
Welcome to Michigan (hey!)
Sunburn
Boots
And a hoodie on
Sky keeps changing its mind
We all just play along
Coffee in the morning
Tailgate in the freezing rain
Seasonal affective disorder
But we’re laughing through the pain

[Verse]
Lake effect headlines
Phone buzz
“snow day” in June
Bare trees
Green lawns
Same street
Same afternoon
We keep a coat in the backseat
Sunglasses on the dash
We plan our whole weekend
Around a maybe
Kinda forecast

[Chorus]
Welcome to Michigan (hey!)
Sunburn
Boots
And a hoodie on
Sky keeps changing its mind
We all just play along
Coffee in the morning
Tailgate in the freezing rain
Seasonal affective disorder
But we’re dancing in the strange

[Bridge]
Yeah we’re pale
Yeah we’re tired
Yeah we still go out and stay
’Cause the sun hits just a second
And we’re all okay
Okay (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Welcome to Michigan
All four seasons in a day
We joke that we might move someday
But you know we’re here to stay
Coffee in the morning
Laughing as the skies rearrange
Seasonal affective disorder
Is just the Michiganian way

[Bridge]
Welcome to Michigan - all four Seasons, all in one day, absolutely the Michiganian way. Winter Storm watch, middle of May, Mother nature don't care what you got to say. Seasonal Effective Disorder, all year long, supposed to be Sunny, what went wrong?

[Verse]
Scraped ice off my windshield
In flip-flops
Shorts
And shades
Sunburn on my left arm
Right side freezing in the sleet
Grill’s smoking in the driveway
Snowflakes in the lemonade
Forecast said “it’s fine today”
Guess that’s just another cheat

[Chorus]
Welcome to Michigan
All four seasons in a day
Sky can’t make up its mind
Changes every mile you drive away
Winter storm watch
In the middle of May
Mother Nature shrugs and says
“I don’t care what you got to say” (hey)
Welcome to Michigan
We live on weather roulette

[Verse]
Salt stains on my sneakers
Pumpkin spice in late July
Mosquitoes in a flurry
Geese confused up in the sky
Mood swings with the barometer
Blue light through my blinds at noon
Coffee cup and a therapy lamp
Trying to outshine the gloom

[Chorus]
Welcome to Michigan
All four seasons in a day
Sky can’t make up its mind
Changes every mile you drive away
Winter storm watch
In the middle of May
Mother Nature shrugs and says
“I don’t care what you got to say” (oh yeah)
Welcome to Michigan
We laugh so we don’t forget

[Bridge]
Yeah we joke through the gray
But it gets heavy in the long
Long days
Seasonal sadness in the rearview glass
Still we stay
We stay

[Chorus]
Welcome to Michigan
All four seasons in a day
We keep driving through the drift and rain
Chasing any little break of gray
Winter storm watch
On your graduation day
Mother Nature smirks and says
“I don’t care what you got to say”
Welcome to Michigan
Yeah
We love it anyway
