Herndon - Michigan Lake lyrics

Michigan Lake She drove the Caddy into the drink Little babies didn't know how to swim As Detroit steel started to sink She led the children in a sacred hymn It was something about Jesus Mother Mary and Father God And all The Saints and how they reach us With their carburetors firing the pistons and rods All the officials Captains and kings Policemen and the scuba teams Jumped in the lake With a swimmable dog Searching for the scent Of the Son of God I never bought it how they bought it How the water came over their heads I read the caper in the newspaper Clipped a coupon for a loaf of bread Moses came to part the waterways And separate...and separate... Moses came to part the waterways And separate the Chevy's from the Chevrolets All the officials Captains and kings Policemen and the scuba teams Jumped in the lake With a swimmable dog Searching for the scent Of the Son of God Lake is great God is good For forty days there was rust on the hood For forty nights it was cold in the drain For a savior stuck in a trunk of pain I went swimming in the morning Got the water all over my face I went fishing that same morning For immaculate spark-plugs of wafers of grace
