Transposer:

[Verse] Well Johnson Van Dyke Grigsby was paroled in ’89 He never walked on a carpet never tasted dinner wine His old eyes were slowly fadin’ as he walked out of the gate And he breathed the first free air he’d breathed since 19-0-8 [Chorus] Howdy do Michigan City you’re sure pretty sight But I know there’s bigger cities and more excitin’ nights But I think your girls’re pretty and I love your children too Michigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do [Verse] Filled with the joy of freedom he didn’t know that he was old Cause time don’t really matter when it’s bubblin’ in your soul Well I don’t think he was bitter cause he sure had a smile And down the streets of Michigan City he walked his first free miles [Chorus] Howdy do Michigan City you’re sure pretty sight But I know there’s bigger cities and more excitin’ nights But I think your girls’re pretty and I love your children too Michigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do

La chanson évoque l'histoire de Johnson Van Dyke Grigsby, qui sort de prison après plusieurs décennies passées derrière les barreaux. En découvrant la liberté et la vie à Michigan City, il ressent une joie immense, malgré son âge avancé. Le texte souligne son appréciation pour la beauté de la ville et l'innocence des enfants, tout en reconnaissant que d'autres lieux peuvent offrir plus d'excitation. C'est un moment de célébration de la liberté retrouvée, où le passé lourd est laissé derrière lui, permettant à l'esprit de se raviver.
