Detroit City 2021 (Album Version)
Me and Iggy were giggin' with Ziggy and kickin' with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burnin' with the fever
And Suzi Q was sharp as a knife
The kid was in his crib
Shady wore a bib, and the Posse wasn't even alive
Shock rock, choppin' block
Songs to make your heart stop, shove it into overdrive
Play it loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Play it like today will be your last
Bleak town, sleek town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
There's a riot ragin' downtown
Tryin' to burn the place down, the skies were glowin' red and gray
But the grass keeps growin' and the money keeps flowin'
And the streets are still smokin' today
Play it loud and fast
'Cause the blues are in the past
Play it like today might be your last
Bleak town, sleek town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
Bleak town, sleek town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
Shake it down
Break it down
All around
Hallowed ground
Lost and found
Homeward bound
The Detroit sound is coming 'round
Lion town
Roarin' down
Tiger town
On the mound
Hockey town
Shoot the puck
Take 'em down
Don't give a- (what?)
Ted and Seger were burnin' with the fever
And Suzi Q was sharp as a knife
The kid was in his crib
Shady wore a bib, and the Posse wasn't even alive
Shock rock, choppin' block
Songs to make your heart stop, shove it into overdrive
Play it loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Play it like today will be your last
Bleak town, sleek town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
There's a riot ragin' downtown
Tryin' to burn the place down, the skies were glowin' red and gray
But the grass keeps growin' and the money keeps flowin'
And the streets are still smokin' today
Play it loud and fast
'Cause the blues are in the past
Play it like today might be your last
Bleak town, sleek town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
Bleak town, sleek town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
Shake it down
Break it down
All around
Hallowed ground
Lost and found
Homeward bound
The Detroit sound is coming 'round
Lion town
Roarin' down
Tiger town
On the mound
Hockey town
Shoot the puck
Take 'em down
Don't give a- (what?)
