Me and Iggy were giggin' with Ziggy and kickin' with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burnin' with fever
And let the Silver
bullets fly
The Kid was in his crib, shady wore a bib
And the posse wasnt even alive
Shock rock choppin' block, sort to make your
heart stop
Shovin' in to overdrive
Playing loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Playing like today will be your
last...
Well I was born there
Gonna die there
With all my long hair
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
You hit the
concrete
To get to mean street
Detroit City
Theres a riot raging downtown
Tryin' to burn the place down
Skies glowing; red
and grey
But the Riff kept a Rockin'
The Greek kept a-talkin'
And the streets still smokin' today
Playing loud and
fast
Make that guitar blast
Playing like today will be your last...
Well I was born there
Probably die there
With all my
long hair
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
You hit the concrete
Dance the mean streets
Detroit City
Six mile seven
mile eight mile nine mile
Ten mile eleven mile Detroit city
Louder
Faster
Louder
Detroit City
Well I was born
there
Gonna die there
We dont belong here
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
Hit the concrete
Dance the mean
street
Detroit City
Well I was born there
Probably die there
With all my long hair
Detroit City
You feel your heart
beat
You hit the concrete
Dance the mean street
Detroit City
